Szeth dancing was such a visceral read. It reminded me of Kaladin dancing on the wind. It was really pure. Szeth has been my favorite since WoK. Im looking forward to him and Kal traveling together. I hope they can both find some peace of mind and bond together.

Jan 2, 2019 · Szeth himself must grow and learn to trust his own judgment before he can teach Nightblood who deserves to die. Cultivation Transforms Nightblood WoK describes a carved relief of “Nalan’Elin, emitting sunlight, the sword of retribution held over his head.” (Chapter 18, Kindle p. 286, bold added.)

Aug 9, 2023 · At Szeth's worst, the only person capable of putting him down was Kaladin Stormblessed. It certainly adds to the evidence that Szeth is nowhere near average. But, on the other hand, one could argue that Szeth was far more experienced with surges, which offset his mental state, and Kaladin's advantages should be impacted by his relative ...

May 23, 2024 · Yes, Szeth totally died from that fall--just as the young man that Lift revived had died from what he suffered. We know that Stormlight can fix the body and bring back the dead, so long as very little time has passed.

Dec 18, 2024 · I don't see how news of the New Oathpact could get out, as there were no non-Herald witnesses to it. Szeth was unconscious and Nightblood in an Investiture coma. It would have to be some spren like The Wind to tell people, but as we learned from the epigraph selections of Knights of Wind and Truth, the Wind has not spoken to anyone since. And ...

Feb 27, 2021 · Possible factors: 1-szeth’s insanity, 2-syl can switch weapon styles, 3-radiants are more efficient with stormlight, 4-szeth wanted to die Although I discount #3 because they were IN the high storm, so they both had a near infinite supply of power. What I wonder is how szeth lost, given that he’s much much more experienced.

Oct 13, 2020 · Szeth was a very respected member of his society, once. There are clues to what happened in his story, but you won't hear it in full until he gets his book. (Which will include his flashbacks.) WOB. Indeed it seemed Szeth was quite well respected. We'll have to hold out for another 3-4 years to learn much more though.

Aug 13, 2024 · If Szeth believed that by doing this he was protecting Dalinar, it most likely wouldn't matter. However it seems it wasn't done for this reason, Szeth did it out of anger. He disobeyed Dalinar, but I don't think it would mean breaking oaths. He just went a step backwards. Szeth hasn't sworn the 4th Ideal yet, so he still has to follow Dalinar.

Sep 7, 2023 · So far, Szeth's reaction to having his "current" ideal of justice be challenged hasn't been to break all his oaths and stop believing, but to try and get closer to the true meaning of "justice". It might not happen immediately, and we may get an arc of Szeth really struggling to find the right words while he keeps his current Oaths to Dalinar.

Nov 29, 2022 · Szeth had over a decade head start on Kaladin on learning how to use stormlight, and yet Kaladin was still better at it. To me that tells you everything. He’s just the better fighter.
