#stormlight five

I'm going to be thinking about Sigzil renouncing his oaths for the next eight hundred years. After Sunlit Man I assumed it was some cataclysmically bad event where he was in a leadership position, or failure of judgment, that pushed him to break his Windrunner oaths, and spent essentially every shattered plains chapter waiting for things to go horribly wrong. After all that only for it to be in protection of Vienta. Giving up his bond, and the sky, and his oaths, protecting someone. The very cornerstone of the windrunner ideals. I'm never going to emotionally recover from this.

Kaladin is floating in the stormlight 5 art because he doesn’t trust the stationary grass.

Anyway I'm absolutely obsessed with Adolin's ability to say "fuck you actually, this is nonsense" to oaths and STILL be one of if not THE most honourable characters in the series I'm going insane man of all time.

One thing I'm really enjoying about Szeth and Kal's Excellent Adventure (tm) is that Szeth appears to be completely immune to The Kaladin Effect. Everyone who has ever met the man has had some variation on hero worship or been worn down by the sheer power of Mr Stormblessed's ability to make friends and win loyalty through being stubborn and/or badass. Meanwhile 650 pages in Szeth is STILL calling him an oblivious idiot. Iconic.
