What say you? I realize I've thrown up a bit of a wall of text, but I felt the points required some explanation and substantiation. The original working title was The Song of Changes, which Brandon said was never meant to be the final title, and he later said the tentative title was The Rhythm of War.

Kaladin was again pulled out of that mess, this time by Renarin, and upon returning to the Shattered Plains, he was relieved of duty by Dalinar. He actually realized this himself and when he told Dalinar that he can’t do it, Dalinar agreed and said, “This is the sort of thing a man must do himself.” So perhaps we’ll see the Blackthorn unleashed again. And no Sylspear. Speaking of which—of course we expected to end up in Urithiru, and likely with most of the usual suspects.

Dalinar heads back to the warcamp where he hears that Urithiru had been liberated and that Navani is now a Bondsmith. Instead, he’s imprisoned in a small house in the midst of the coalition warcamp, where he is constantly guarded. And learn we did. Dalinar doesn’t have a lot of screen time, but what he does have packs a lot of punch. Have. Well, only most of us. I'll hide spoilers about other books, but if you've read this far, I assume pretty much anything I say about Rhythm of War you've already read in the book or it has already been spoiled. I don't see why Wit would plan on that, but if he says that was the plan, perhaps it was. Alice hails from the Pacific Northwest, and contrary to expectation, has not yet developed webbed feet.

At one point, we wondered if Dabbid would form that bond, being perhaps the first to hear the Sibling’s voice. After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. One of our favorite moments was when Raboniel says, “If you are not a scholar, Navani, then I have never met one.” Though she continues to doubt herself, and at one point condemns herself in thinking that a true scholar would have seen the implications of her own work (LOL), that acknowledgement from Raboniel is what finally makes her realize that, imperfect as she may be, she is worthy to be considered a scholar and a bondmate for the Sibling.
