Been re-reading the Way of Kings recently and… it’s a truly fascinating series of “almost”s. Shallan almost gets away with her theft. Kaladin almost saves the people be chooses to protect. On a re-read these grow even more obvious. It’s almost like reading the Odyssey with just how damn close they get to their goals over and over again.
Also I think I’m gonna start live-blogging my Stormlight re-read
Also something funny(?) I noticed when re-listening is that Antinous like… always included his buddies when talking about… ya’know… Penelope. So like- I guess he just really liked bro time.
Antinous is for the boys. He really should have stuck to just having hot gay mercenary sex with his bros. Trying to usurp the throne was a total misplay.
“Honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do.”
KAAALLAAAADDDIIIIIINNNNN OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
I have a gut instinct telling me this butler character is gonna be a highlight. His sass. His attitude. His barely constrained urge to strangle Wax… It’s beautiful.
Oh my God??? The Dawnshard gave Rysn the Breath???????? There’s truly just so much Warbreaker in this series.
Oh that’s Vivenna.

Bands of Morning Spoilers
I have a feeling this Twinborn Terrace kid that Wax shot in the eye is gonna end up the main antagonist of this book. Let’s see if my wild and absurd ability to predict things makes a comeback.
Wax just shotgun jumped. 10/10. I fear Brandon Sanderson may have peaked.
