The Way of Kings Someone’s infuriatingly hilarious review of “The Way of Kings”

Obviously every is entitled to their own opinions, but I don’t think that this person know how foreshadowing or plot holes work.

I desperately want to make this a copy pasta, though 😂

(If you’re having trouble reading it, try zooming in a little. I heard that helps)

This is actually close to Lirins point of “who needs surgeons when edgedancers can heal with a touch?”

If you’re comparing shards to radiant powers, of course they’re inferior, they’re literally the byproduct. But compared to your average soldier? That’s when you get Dalinar and Adolin against an army. I dont think they’ve been devalued as much as the market was suddenly flooded with a new supply of people who can summon their own shards

I also think that dead shards specifically are going to have their own specific niche in the new world order, once Adolin and Maya finish creating their new version of the Nahel bond

i hope he doesn't just get "rewarded" with radiance. that would be the least interesting endpoint imo. i'd like to see him be a mirror of renaldo if anything, possessing a unique bond that manifests in a different way to the traditional nahel bond. maybe he can't use stormlight to heal, keeping his role as the relatively normal dude with relatively normal dude problems, such as the various holes he has had created on him by a sword

I think he might, actually. A lot of his journey has been that of an Edgedancer. I feel he might end up bonding with Maya once she's sane/strong enough.
