CapnAndy posted:Literally the minor-est of spoilers for Tress, about a quarter of the way through: At the start of chapter 24, Hoid refers to himself as a Worldbringer. Is that a typo? Sigzil has always referred to himself and Hoid as Worldsingers. There's old WoB that he's a feruchemist (may or may not still be canon) so he's possibly one of the OG worldbringers.

And for the most recent books, the coppermind wiki has a 'time machine' feature that lets you browse it at checkpoints set the day before each book's release, so you can look up info without spoilers from that book.

Oh it's simple. Brandon was stalled on shadows of self so he wrote bands of mourning first to unjam himself without telling anyone So he submitted his final draft of shadows of self to his editor and then at the end of it snuck in a full additional unannounced novel. They thought it was funny enough that they wanted to do that to the fanbase too, which they did with secret history

CapnAndy posted:End of Warbreaker spoilers: I still don't know what the deal with that ball throwing game was. Was it just a gag about him being lucky or is there some significance/clue to his identity that I missed? That game is a coded reference to the entire plot of the cosmere, and if you're deep enough in the lore the connections are obvious. or maybe he's just really lucky

CapnAndy posted:You're going to have to give people at least a temporary and provisional pass on the slavery thing if you want to like anyone. It's systemic. I'm spoilering this bit not because it's a spoiler, but just because I can't remember if it's something that's been explicitly explained to you yet or not: they live in a world with an actual separate species who are, in fact, only barely sapient. Unlike our world, there's a very strong possibility that the Parsh, left to their own devices, would simply die because they're incapable of caring for themselves. given that they have had thousands of years of cultural transmission of their burial rituals, and parshmen that act too smart get punished, I think the Alethi perspective is at best a semi-intentional self-delusion

It was so cool to learn he was lucky because [Spolier]kaladin's brother from the dark timeline is protecting him via time travel, the reveal that the "highstorm thunder" and "small brass drinking cups" kaladin keeps finding are the sound and shell casings from his brother sniping kaladin's enemies with a M1 Garand are a big highpoint [/spoiler]

To be fair a competent leader could have just said I have witnessed two men win shardblades in the arena, against a staggering disadvantage, and in admiration of their feat, I grant the right of challenge to both brightlord Adolin and brightlord Kaladin. And it would have made the challenge even more legit, a darkeyes winning a shardblade unarmed it the type of legendary poo poo a boon is for.
