I'M DYING I'M FUCKING DYING RN

[peachdoxie]

Anyway. Time to read Day Ten. Hope it doesn't emotionally crush me too badly.

[peachdoxie]

Actually getting kinda emotional over the fact that Nightblood imagines themselves as a sword of glowing light, like some kind of savior out of the dark.

[peachdoxie]

I finished Wind and Truth.

I will need time to fully digest and process what I read, but holy shit. That book did not let up. I'm exhausted after reading it. In a good way, but still.

[peachdoxie]

Of course Sebarial and Palona got married on fucking Day Ten. Iconic, honestly.

HERALD OF SECOND CHANCES

[peachdoxie]

Yeah okay, I'll believe the theory that 12124 becomes Sigzil's highspren, purely because Nale described him as "an attendant to your human, an auxiliary to his will."

[peachdoxie]

Hey hey hey, what the fuck is Cusicesh and why does it have a Perpendicularity and why are the Iriali leaving now?

[peachdoxie]

Oooooooooh shit. That's who Odium's champion is? Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit.

[peachdoxie]

I do NOT like how the archway in chapter 34 is slightly crumbling. It does not bode well.

[peachdoxie]

I have half a mind suspecting that Maya is perhaps not going to the honorspren, but perhaps to the lost deadeyes that they encountered at the beginning of the book. I am not sure why they would be mentioned otherwise, unless it's to set things up for the second half of the series. We shall see.

[peachdoxie]

Rlain's backstory just goes to show how much Renarin's efforts to get to know him mattered

[peachdoxie]

I've had the feeling since pretty early in the book that Leyten is going to die. I sure hope not, but every time he makes an appearance I get nervous. Mostly because like, although it would be sad for him to die, it would be an absolute morale crusher for Sigzil, I think.

Day Four! Back to the Spiritual Realm fuckery!

Also, the epigraphs are now from the in-world Words of Radiance. We've already seen epigraphs from The Way of Kings. Are we also going to see some from Oathbringer and Rhythm of War? There's also the epigraphs from Knights of Wind and Truth from Day One. Interesting.

[peachdoxie]

Crystal spikes that can "restore sight" to the blind by letting them sense Investiture, huh? Sounds a lot like hemalurgy using a different material. Aether, maybe?

[peachdoxie]

Nightblood saying they don't want to kill and that killing doesn't "feel" like them is uh. something. Not sure what that means for the "Destroy evil" Command....
