Hi Kingston!

I will likely be moving to the area in the fall for 6 months plus for a training academy. I’m looking for a month by month lease or maybe a sublet.

I’ve been having trouble finding places on apartments.com or Zillow. I’m not looking for anything fancy as my days will be spend out at the academy. I simply need a place to sleep and eat, nothing more.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

WINDS and TRUTH SPOILER

Who is your least favorite character and why? This could be throughout any of the books.

For me it’s Renarin, he just cringes me out is all. He’s a great guy and very interesting character. He’s just so cringe sometimes it takes me out of it.

Will they depict the Hour of the Wolf at the end of the show? I’ve been thinking about how they will end it. I for one would be interested in seeing Cregan Stark as hand of the king for a day.

I adore Shallan. She’s made a lot of growth and I’m extremely proud of her, but god damn… how could she be fooled so easily by Mraize!!! >!The perpendicularity collapsing sucking them all in!?!< I really thought she had caught him but of course he had his anti-storm light knife still.

Also, Wit about to >!lightweave his ass into Dalinar!< is hilarious and almost worth things going to shit.

So I just finished Rhythm of War. >!So Taravangian became Odium???!< I love it and I hate it, like what the fuck was that? I did not see that coming at all.

I really like his character. I thought the back and forth between intelligence and emotion was really interesting. After finishing the book I guess it makes sense what happened. But wow.

I’m starting Wind and Truth today. I’m excited to see how this all develops.

P.s. Fuck Moash, he deserved what he got at the end

So here I am, 100 pages left in Rhythem of War. I just finished chapter 104, Full of Hope, and my favorite character, >!the old grumpy sergeant himself, Teft… just died.!<

I’m sitting at work on my lunch break sobbing. I’m so proud of him yet so sad. “Still full of hope”

Edit: FUCK MOASH

Looking for a garden center or plant store that sells vegetable starters. Looking for tomatoes specifically. Herbs are okay as well.

So I’m halfway through Rhythm of War. Urithiru has fallen, the Radiants have been immobilized, The Sibling is shielded (for now I think), and Lirin is trashing on Kaladin still for not becoming a surgeon.

Listen, I get where Lirin is coming from. Better to save lives by literally saving them rather than killing people. It makes sense. It’s the right thing. But it’s so unrealistic in this world. It’s hard for me to agree with Lirin when he says stuff like things are going to be the same regardless of who’s in control.

Now I understand Kaladin is going through it right now, that boy has some serious PTSD. Fighting, especially solo, probably isn’t the best thing for him. But for Lirin to come at him like “I told you so” just doesn’t sit well with me.

I’m interested to see where this occupation leads! Also shout out to the soldiers and their commander Teofil. What an epic last stand, broke my heart to see them die.

What are some of your favorite character comparisons across different fantasy worlds? Why do these characters compare?

For me I see a comparison between Sylphrena (Sly) from the Storm Light Archives and Ari from the King Killer Chronicles.

Both Syl and Ari share an innocent wonder that never feels naive, just genuine. They’re drawn to understanding things deeply rather than simply observing, and both have a sharp wit underneath that curiosity, pushing back and teasing rather than just being wide-eyed.

They also form intense bonds with their protagonists (Kvothe and Kaladin). The interesting contrast is that Syl’s curiosity is tied to her becoming, as an honorspren growing into consciousness in the physical realm alongside Kaladin, her wonder is almost existential. Whereas Ari’s feels like a core personality trait baked in from the start, just who she is, world be damned.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thoughts?

So I’m a little over 100 pages into Rhythm of War and I love this honor amongst warriors. The idea that the Windrunners and the Heavenly Ones have this unspoken code of one on one combat is so cool.

I really enjoy how Kaladin and Leshwi are contesting rather than fighting to the death. This mutual respect is really cool. Maybe I’m missing something but I didn’t expect it, I really like it.

I’m excited to keep reading and see where this leads!

Also, Kaladin… are you okay? lol
