<b>rep:</b> mc with depression, bi mc with PTSD, gay side character with epilepsy
<b>tw:</b> murder, blood, war violence
the words 'look at the big picture' has never been more true, than when reading a sanderson book. his ability to spin everything on its head is uncanny.
the amount of pov characters allows him to show those characters even better. which is to say, two of them often go through a similar ordeal at the same time but react in vastly different ways. and it's those differences that let us learn more about the characters. great writing skill!
spoilers for me, don't look:
dalinar and navani get married
kal comes back home
elhokar swears faith to dalinar
amaram is made highprince sadeas
shallan learns kal killed her brother
shallan sends away the unmade in urithiru
dalinar send visions to other monarchs
kaladin, shallan, adolin and elokhtar go to kholinar
moash kills elhokar
the guys land in shardsmar
dalinar gets venli into one of the visions
turns out humans are the invaders - no one trusts dalinar anymore
renarin is bonded to a corrupted spren
amaram’s men felt the thrill sent by odium and attacked thaylen city
szeth swears an ideal to dalinar
odium makes dalinar his champion
dalinar becomes unity
adolin brings the spren of his shardblade back to life?
teft and lopen become radiant
they make jasnah the queen of alethkar
shallan and adolin get married
taravangian meets odium
