Ch 28
Wait, wtf. So Yaezir is the name of a god or herald or something that these people worship? Damn it, Sanderson, the way you referenced it last time, I thought it was a typo of Yezier, the country next door to Azir. D: Taravangian is just hanging out "with a concerned expression." Imma guess he's smart today and is concerned about giving it away. Good on Shallan for sharing her findings about mimicspren with Dalinar. I probably would have gotten mad if Dalinar got screwed later on because of something that could have been avoided if Shallan had just told him about it. Oh good. Since I complained last chapter about never seeing Dalinar use his powers, we get to see him use it now! I really like seeing mundane uses of magic in fantasy series. Not everything has to be flashy and murdery. Yeeeah, this hole is a little too big to just let it slide. If I were anyone in this room, I'd consider the possibility of child-spies or something using that passageway. Seal that shit up, Dalinar... unless it's actually the tower's ventilation system, in which case, don't seal that shit up. Since I don't know jack shit about how big a hole needs to be for proper ventilation in a non-modern building, I can't really say how much/if it should be sealed. Also, add mink to the list of mammals that exist in this world, though this is mid-Roshar. No idea if they live in Alethkar, though Dalinar did recognize what it was. Still, there are minks living in this network? And rats too, of course. What else, I wonder? Maybe more spren than just the mimicspren Oh cool, Navani has already investigated how it's a ventilation system. I really like this woman! I'm also falling for Fen pretty hard, even though we've never seen her. Do we know how old she is? She strikes me as being an older woman, 50s or more. She's playing cautious, just like the Azish, though she at least has the balls to be honest with Dalinar on why. Gonna just make a mental note that Leyten and Peet are the names of bridgemen since I can never for the life of me remember any of those guys. My mental image of them are Professor Layton and Peeta from the Hunger Games, respectively. Oh hey, this is where Oathbringer the sword ended up. I wasn't sure, and I'm pretty sure I had a handful of assumptions. Well good to know for certain now! --- Account created-9/10/04. Just a normal GameFAQs user/leprechaun Ramza: rofl.

Ch 28 continued
Aww, Dalinar wonders something similar a paragraph later, but he takes it the other way: he wants to rescue them. I doubt the spren could come back to life, but I believe it could be laid to rest peacefully. Augh, don't tell me Dalinar is gonna actually give Oathbringer to Ialai, who in turn will obviously give it to Amaram. I mean... that was one assumption I think I had? That Ialai had it already. But still... don't do it! He'd probably say that it's the "honorable" thing to do. Amaram is a piece of shit that calls Dalinar out on also being a piece of shit when he was younger. Yes, but... that's the difference between you and him. One of you has since stopped being a piece of shit! I feel like Taravangian wants to ask some really deep questions to better understand Dalinar, but is also worried about showing off more of his own intelligence than he intends. Man, Tara is really a vicious dude on the inside. He believes in the old adage 'hang 'em all, let God sort them out.' I feel like there should be some kind of spren that pops up when people are lying vs. telling the truth. Pattern is all about lies. Maybe the courts of Roshar should get in touch with the cryptics to make them judges/interrogators. They probably have ways of determining which of the hogmen were lying. I know I just called Tara vicious, but I wasn't being sincere. He's utilitarian. I can respect it, even if I don't agree. I'd have to side with Dalinar on this argument. I think I'd prefer to let three murderers go rather than kill one innocent. I don't agree with the king in the story either. Whether death or imprisonment, he's still ruined one man's life. Personally, I'd let them all go. If they commit another murder, well, shit happens, but maybe there will be better evidence that time. But they'd be damn fucking stupid to murder again, and so they probably won't. Just let them live out their lives. I know it's not the kind of solution a king should make, lest his peasants think they can run all over him, but hell, it's what I'd do. Dalinar says the same thing I've been saying regarding himself. A man who has changed isn't really a hypocrite. Like, I would say that to be considered a hypocrite, you have to hold a certain belief WHILE acting contrary to that belief. Dalinar doesn't believe that killing and conquest is the answer anymore, and he's doing everything he can to prevent it! The Stormfather is also oddly cute in the same way Pattern is. Must be a spren thing. And aww yess, Dalinar is going to rock Fen's world soon. --- Account created-9/10/04. Just a normal GameFAQs user/leprechaun Ramza: rofl. Rofel: You say my name? -Eise ...
