Stormlight Archive Predictions!

My predictions for the Stormlight Archive!
BREACH OF PEACE LINKS:

Equipment:

Correction: Brandon said that Arc 2 will be more disjointed from Arc 1 than Well of Ascension to Final Empire, not Mistborn Era 2 from Era 1. That has very different implications.

[williamallen]

See, to me, Kaladin is the one character who definitely shouldn't die. His whole story has been about dealing with his depression, trying to break himself of his suicidal need to protect everyone all the time. Having him just die protecting people seems counter to his entire story arc so far.

[kylewood]

Kaladin: “What do you mean I die?”
Daniel: “You’ve earned it.”
Kaladin: “...I’ve earned it?”
Daniel: “It will be glorious!”
Kaladin: don’t think that word means what you think it means.”

Tinfoil hat time:

Brando Sando saying "the next books will focus on the heralds" is a misdirect- I think more heralds will die and some of our faves are going to replace them and renew the oathpact. That way the next books can focus on the heralds, including our POV pals...

[troikas]

I hope Kal doesn't die simply because so much of his story has grown into him needing to fight to find something to live for. The struggles he's going through, death is kind of an easy out and even a heroic sacrifice feels like a bit of a cheap out on that arc. Dying is easy, living is hard and I feel like his story would be much more impactful if he's forced to continue living.

[abcrasshadow]

I feel like one of Kaladins "faults" is that he suffers from survivor's guilt. So the ultimate ending for him is dealing with it while surviving. Also, I am a huge Kaladin stan and will bend any truth to fit my worldview and wishes!

[wwfix]

“Moash will die in the second half, at Kaladin’s hands.”

Don’t do it. Don’t give me hope.

[UdyKumra]

"No dying" is the darkest twist on "No mating" I've ever seen.

[JamesVermont]

Jasnah is gonna become as important to the cosmere as “Thaidakar”
I’m certain of it

[jedthegay]

Jasnah is going to live forever. Definitely going to become a worldhopper in the future of the Cosmere.

[ericlusk]

Adolin will form a full bond with Maya and become an edgedancer, bringing her out of her dead-eye state.🤞

[annikamittelhauser]

Ugh, if Kaladin dies I don’t even know how much motivation I’d have to keep reading. He’s so above and beyond my favorite character.

[niclasjohansson]

"There is just a voice whispering that to me."
*Lews Therin, are you there? Answer me!*

[averyhinks]

Kaladin shouldn't die. A satisfying ending for him would be him FINALLY letting himself stop fighting, and feeling comfortable with only helping people, like he's always wanted. Specifically helping people deal with mental illness, like he started doing a little bit in Rhythm of War. This would set him up to have a much different role in books 5-10, because he could spend those books helping the Heralds overcome their insanity.

The voice whispering to you about Szeth has a name, dear goblin. Their name is Nightblood

[PatrickRyanBookReviews]

Era 2 prediction - Kaladin's younger brother is going to be a main character as he struggles with being in the shadow of Kaladin Stormblessed; the older brother and hero who died protecting the world.

[milospollonia]

My thoughts:
- Kal dies swearing his Fifth Ideal, saving everyone but sacrificing himself in the process
- Dalinar reforms Honor and Ascends
- Shallan escapes Roshar and will be a POV character for Mistborn Era 3

[dylanjstafford]

The “No…dying…” hit me hard. Damn you Daniel Greene!!!

[DrakkanWoW]

I think Kaladin lives and becomes a character similar to Zahel/Vasher later on, just a grumpy old man in the background....

[stuarteliason]

Gavinor, Oroden, and Adin team up as the new generation of young Radiants, with Gavinor on a quest to discover his parents' dark secrets, Oroden trying to live up to his brother's legacy, and Adin working harder than ever to attract an honorspren
