And, yes, I think you make a good point about the Parshendi, it was as though they were quickly taking responsibility - maybe before they changed their mind. Or as though they were compelled to do so and so were just getting a nasty task out of the way.<br />2. It's going to be interesting seeing how that pans out!<br />3. Yeah, can't say I'm really looking forward to Szeth making an appearance!<br />4.The lack of memory between the two spren is interesting. It's almost like they've been reborn.<br />5. It's interesting how very quickly Dalinar has placed so much trust in Kaladin. Okay, obviously, Kaladin did rescue Dalinar and his surviving men, but, even so, it's still an awful lot of trust all at once. I like that though, it's almost as though he realises something is different about Kaladin (or maybe he did see him using Stormlight??)<br />6. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Jasnah surviving. It just felt too sudden! I can't handle it.<br />7. I suppose the name Pattern isn't very original! Maybe it's actually an anagram - apt rent or rapt net LOL<br />I never put that together with Liss - OMG!!!!<br />Lnn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-44470342167501129682014-04-07T18:33:43.635-04:002014-04-07T18:33:43.635-04:00Your suggestion about the Parshendi sounds very pl...Your suggestion about the Parshendi sounds very plausible: the peace treaty would most definitely seem like something that Odium would try to forbid.<br /><br />I wonder if the spren conflict is about how they approach change: direct action vs indirect, or something similar?<br /><br />If Shen becomes more individual and that spreads, it could be a very good thing . . . or stunningly bad.<br /><br />Strangely, I do not feel any less stuffed with questions than at the end of book 1! :DLooks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-29713951114841123652014-04-07T18:30:21.251-04:002014-04-07T18:30:21.251-04:00So much to look forward to!!So much to look forward to!!Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-23048283736407444922014-04-04T21:08:01.273-04:002014-04-04T21:08:01.273-04:00Haha! Yes, that opening sentence threw me off too....Haha! Yes, that opening sentence threw me off too. I figured that if Jasnah had hired Szeth, then she had a damn good reason. <br /><br />I wonder if some action of the Parshendi - such as signing a peace agreement with Gavilar - inadvertently triggered his death. Suppose someone else doesn't want the two allied, and the Parshendi know this. That 3rd party could have hired Szeth to do the assassination and the Parshendi may feel some responsibility for that. Or I could be totally off. <br /><br />I too am curious about the conflict the spren have among themselves. Do some want the world to stay as it is? Do others see a need for change to combat what is coming (the Everstorm)? So many questions and so many books to go. <br /><br />I too thought the name 'Pattern' seemed a bit silly. I mean, it is like calling a cat, 'Cat', etc. <br /><br />Liss might have realized what Szeth is and sold him to pay off some large debt....<br /><br />While I am enjoying Shen becoming one of the guys, I too worry what that could mean for the Parshmen as a whole. If Jasnah's guess is correct about how they communicate, then Shen's sense of individuality could spread. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-7702084730112051222014-04-04T16:06:47.419-04:002014-04-04T16:06:47.419-04:00Yeah, I too am excited to see how all the relation...Yeah, I too am excited to see how all the relationships will play out when Shallan reaches the Shattered Plains and meets her would-be fiance. Good all about Kaladin showing his powers when Szeth shows up! I figured something would happen sooner or later that would out him, but I wasn't even thinking about Szeth. I'm sure you're right! So excited! :DLiesel K. Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860816358217211833noreply@blogger.com
