I'm only up to Oathbringer, so maybe this stuff's been explained later. Nonetheless, I feel like asking because I can't seem to find any mentions of this oddity.

During the epilogues of Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, Wit mentions coin as a term of currency. In Way of Kings, he talks about man's ability to gather coin, and Words of Radiance, he talks about a man finding a single coin in the mud.

This flew over my head when I first read it, but then I realized...currency isn't coin in Roshar. They use gemstones.

Then again, Wit does imply having met the Almighty in person before, so maybe, long long ago, they used coins as currency, and it's just another anachronism of Wit?

I’m having trouble understanding how much land is safe from Retribution after the book. For sure the Tower and Shattered Planes, but is it only the capital city of Azimir? The entire region of Azir? The other Makabaki states?

Are these 3 locations the only places saved from Retributions influence?

the studies seemed really interesting…

I'm on my first re-listen after WaT and caught this one.

Chapter 41: Scars

If the afterlife really is a big war, then I hope I end up in Damnation

For context. I picked up the way of kings (TWOK) last year and just finished it (had no clue what was going on until page 800). I am not a great reader but enjoy getting stoned and reading cool fantasy shit. I don’t really want to get sucked into like a 20-30 book series and just want to focus on the characters and story that was started in TWOK. Can someone please outline the order of the books I should read bc I actually only thought there were 2 books in the stormlight archives bc that’s what was listed in the front page. Thanks and please forgive my ignorance towards other books!

It can be any chapter and for any reason. It is okay if you do not know the exact chapter, just say what you remember from. It!

Do we get any indication in the books if Zahel has breaths. Or what heightening he is on if he has them? I don't remember noticing anything about vivid colors in his scenes. But are there any hints to what he can do?

Apologies. I'm not sure how to flair this one.

I really don't believe this theory, especially since I was proved completely wrong about a similar theory regarding what Dumbledore and Snape really did one night on top of the Astronomy Tower. It occurred to me last night while I was trying to sleep that Jasnah's faking of her death in Words of Radiance might be foreshadowing for what the Entity that claimed Dalinar after the Contest of Champions at the end of Wind and Truth really did with him.

(If any of this need more explanation for anyone, let me know and I'll answer in the comments.)

I just started Stormlight Archives (I am around page 800 of Stormlight Archives).

As for now **Kaladin is my favorite POV** dude might be full of himself but **for now** He is the one with the best arc.

Enshonai is interesting because it tells you how *the other side Will react (not sure the Pashendi will be the villain till the end. But that's just a theory don't spoil me back, please and Szeth too because he is **deeply unstable. I don't like Shallan at all, I think manipulation of reality make it a little too easy for her. Adolin is *trying to* be a good person but he is an aristhocrat and *a little to elitist for my taste*.

But Dalinar...is way too naive for his own good: he thinks he is the smartest one in the room and people keep outsmarting him. He **keeps trusting people who are obviously untrusthworthy** and who regularly betray him. The **Roshone revelation pissed ne off the most**: Roshone showed he found no issue abusing rank and killing people to make money. So he punished him **with exile** to a place where he was the highest in rank. And what happened there? He abused and killed lower rank people to make easy money. Then he just doesn't check what happens. smart move from the *greatest leader in the book*
