I’m in Chapter 85 of WOR….and my mind is racing after reading the first few sentences.
(I feel like Taravangian, I don’t know if I’m stupid or intelligent yet LMAO) The diagram at the beginning of the chapter mentions: wanderer, the wild piece. Its Wit, isn’t it…….. He has to be the Cosmere easter egg guy, and he seems like he is beyond whats going on. I don’t know if he is meant to be 4th wall’ish, but he comes off to me in that way.
He knows everything, and I have the feeling he has been doing things that it takes reading the other books to know. He uses techniques foreign to the magic system taught in Stormlight (unless I’m missing something). Stormlight doesn’t have “magic flutes,” etc., or the fact he immediately can make characters like Shallan or Kalladen be in a trance or mind control them to go from strongly described as one way when first talking to him n then all the sudden inviting of him. It seems like the writing is doing that on purpose. But I only remember the flute being there once or twice, so I’m probably just overthinking. But it just seems like something is up.
Also, Wit is just obviously suspicious beyond the scope of just this series. I don’t know if it’s meant to be that way on purpose, and I’m just saying something that’s a “no duh” type of situation. If Wit is something more, I want to read the other books if he is in any other ones.
Again, I was already thinking these things, but it was one of my many, many, many theories on what’s going on. That diagram text opened my mind.
