Welcome to my musings on the cosmere! This page is my infodump for thoughts about the universe of Adonalsium.

Let the cogitation commence!

• Huio's Third Ideal was a little iffy. Using Kaladin's Third Ideal as a reference: He was literally protecting the man indirectly responsible for his brother's death. Lopen is incapable of hurting anyone "nearly" that badly, especially just with words. He's not Hoid.
• Kelsier has had quite the journey. He went from being a psychopathic, regicidal anarchist to a glorified spren to a Type I Invested Entity leading an intergalactic organization that wants to set up an economy in a land from nursery rhymes.
• There's a big plot hole in The Emperor's Soul, being that Shai didn't need to reforge his entire soul--she just needed to write a seal where the crossbow bolt missed him. Even the best assassins sometimes miss, so the seal would probably take.
• Hypothetical situation: Rock worldhops to Sel. Someone ReForges him so that he bonded Syl instead of Kaladin. Either the seal doesn't take, or Rock and Kaladin cease to exist and Syl becomes a deadeye, since without Syl, Kaladin would've jumped into the Honor Chasm, and if Kaladin had jumped into the Honor Chasm, Rock would've died to a listener arrow.
• I really like what Brandon did with Quellion. It's 1984 in a fantasy world, and it's really interesting to read.
