So, I read The Orb of Cairado. Maybe my expectations were too high, The Goblin Emperor and The Cemeteries of Amalo being some of my absolute favourite books, but unfortunately I didn't particularly connect with this one. Neither the main character, the other characters, their relationships, nor the plot really got me invested, and the language felt slightly unpolished, which is a shame, because the beautiful language is a big part of why I fell in love with these stories. Some parts were certainly charming, and I don't particularly hate Ulcetha (the MC), but I was just missing something. Spoilers after the cut.
My favourite character interactions were between Ulcetha and Steliän Mirineth, the Witness for the Dead, and I did enjoy some moments between Ulcetha and Sinzharo, but in general I didn't get much out of the relationships. The plot felt rushed, and pretty much everything the characters attempted pretty much succeeded on the first try and really fast at that. Also, I would've liked some information, or even just speculation, on where exactly Salathgarad got the Star of Cstheio from. Maybe on a reread I will enjoy this story more, and there was certainly some fun in there, as well as a few interesting lore tidbits. It just didn't live up to what I have come to expect from a Katherine Addison story.

My toxic trait is when I watch/read reviews of the Goblin Emperor and the reviewer complains about the names or the language, I will literally just think that they are stupid and judge them for it.

In the little pronunciation guide at the beginning it says:
"The consonant c is always hard (the elves along the border with Barizhan have even started to borrow the k of goblin orthography)"
So yeah, single c is basically always equivalent to k.
one thing im jealous of audio book listeners for is that they definitely do not have the problem of veering wildly between the possible pronounciations for the letter c

He really is born unto the light
Stormlight Archive brain mush. SPOILER THOUGHTS.
Adolin. Just. Do you think he will ever know that he's secretly the ultimate hero of Roshar???
No Adolin, no Herald of Second Chances. Kaladin would have been dead already. And wouldn't have had a role model on just *being* with someone when they're in a dark place. And this means no Adolin, no Oathpact and no (hopefully) functional and healed/healing Heralds for the next return.
No Adolin, no Renarin as we know him, no chance of humans surviving Ba Ado Mishram. He kept his brother safe and sane and modeled honor and love and even a loving relationship, all of which gave Renarin the bravery to become someone who would free Mishram and love Rlain.
No Adolin, no sufficiently sane to survive the Spiritual Realm Shallan. Like, that's just facts. Adolin was Roshar's pre-therapist and the next generation will have him to thank for all their heroes being functional for Round 2.
No Adolin, no Maya, no healing Deadeyes, no Unoathed. Azimir would be Odium's/Retribution's without him. How perfect that Adolin is (pretty much) solely responsible for Azimir having SUNLIGHT.
I love him so much, that insanely insecure, sweet child.

Note: I do this and sometimes people have very weird reactions... there's no hidden agenda behind it, sometimes the veggie option just sounds the best on that particular day! But I was wondering if it was really such a weird thing to do.

#these are the type of people that think a vegan label on a condiment bottle that says it goes well with meat dishes is a contradiction#so many things are vegetarian#i can barely fathom a real person who always absolutely has to eat meat with everything#i'm vegetarian and i'm happy if people eat less meat#even if they sometimes eat it still

I've been done with wind and truth for a while now, but I'm just now thinking about how the way things turned out at the Shattered Plains is probably the best situation for that area that could have happened. Independent & free listener nation that's open for any singer who wants to leave Odium and they live in harmony with the chasmfiends. After all that foul stuff the Alethi made the beings of this region suffer, finally something good. I wouldn't have thought that would happen at any point in the earlier books (well maybe at the end of RoW I could have thought of it, but I didn't so yeah). So proud of my precious babies Timbre & Venli.
