I'd just guess it was the spren for one of the parshman who's a radiant, Syl is just ignorant of much of her kind, like pattern.

IIRC, if they're a worldhopper and from that world then the only other established(?) Shardworld that we won't have seen a character from yet is Threnody isn't it?

When Shallan notices the bird, she also comments heavily on Mraize's scars. We know Mraize is a hunter and that he collects trophies from other invested planets. I don't think it's a stretch to think that he might have gone there to collect a bird (and perhaps been badly hurt in the process).

The color isn't perfect though yellow would more closely match with Bondsmiths (Heliodor), the Stonewards were pretty regularly described as having a brown glow on their plate in flashbacks. Whether this always correlates that way to spren is a pretty open question though. Also, she stands on a pillar of stone, but isn't "stone-like" herself, that could be important. And how is she talking already? Most spren so far are pretty stupid when they first pass over to the physical side. Last book Eshonai briefly had a yellow spren shaped like a comet that followed her around, I wonder if these two are related. That one wasn't Chatty Cathy though.

Anyone else find themselves wondering if Taravangian actually has Chanarach’s HonorBlade and has given it to Malata?

Cheradenine posted:Anyone else find themselves wondering if Taravangian actually has Chanarach’s HonorBlade and has given it to Malata? Per WoR, when Szeth was reporting back to T about fighting Kal for the first time, T placated him by saying he must have one of the other honorblades. "One of the other seven" was Szeth's reply. There were 10 heralds, Taln was in hell, so there were 9 honorblades. Minus Szeth's, that means there should be "the other eight" if there wasn't one missing. So yeah, T might have that 9th one. What would be telling is if the new "Radiant" is cagey/doesn't mention much about her spren. Although, Syl recognized the honorblade Szeth used on sight, so you'd think the other Spren (especially Renarin's) would be able to tell immediately

Here are two pieces of the inside art for Oathbringer: https://www.tor.com/2017/10/20/check-out-the-stunning-endpapers-in-brandon-sandersons-oathbringer/ For the curious, Brandon has revealed who they are. They're Ishar and Shalash. And there will be pictures of Jezrien and Vedel as well.

Well, Kaladin's, anyway. Dalinar's whole deal is ~mysterious wife~ thing which he can't remember so it's not really an issue, and his being blackout drunk when his brother got whacked. Which he regrets, but actually does stuff as a result of it. It's more of a motivator than a point of moping anguish. Meanwhile, Kaladin's dysfunction....just makes him dysfunctional, mopey, and slows him down. It's realistic, but still not much fun to read about.

BrandonSanderson.com has been putting up chapters from the first draft of The Way of Kings, and if you thought the final version of kaladin was passive, he's still a major action hero compared to the prototype version.

Shallan's schyzo episodes are unevering but I asume they are supposed to be. That aside I actually like her expect for when Brandon tries to do scatological " humor" with her. I remember being annoyed by her on first read but in hindsight that was really just because I wanted to get back to the shattered plains stuff.
