lol damn. dont look it up. because you will find something. i loved this bchapter so much i made a shitty narrated animation of it on my YT channel

BUT, the impact is a function of everything that comes before it. so just wait till you get there. my bad!

EDIT: its not about the actions themselves, or the choices people make, but rather, who the people are and what they've been through when they make those choices
By the way, are both Shallan and Kaladin bind surgers? Yes or no will suffice and won't spoil it.

Over the past few weeks I read:

"Beowulf" Not sure which version, but it isn't in old English. That poem is cool, as, fuck.

"Lost City of Z" by David Grann: Very cool book. The payoff that comes toward the end definitely makes the rest of the book worth it.

"A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" by Ishmael Beah. Interesting read, but stinks of UN propaganda toward the end.

I saw something in a documentary about it. I may have to read it.
I read it in about 24 hours...it was that good...I read very fast but that book drew me in as much as any ever

much much more going on than what you described...it goes deep in many ways and is fun as shit

I fell asleep reading last night. I haven't done that in a while. I think the last all nighter for me was Dean Koontz "Intensity".
