So i have just finished the second book in the stormlight archive and was wondering if anyone wanted to chat about their theories and ideas of what will be happening in the next couple of books.

I'd like to add something to this, but the book hasn't arrived in the mail quite yet. It's a really good series though; if you haven't read it, you should.

I finished the second book last night. On the one hand -- as with many of Brandon Sanderson's books -- I did have a few issues with it. He's still having some problems with stilted dialogue. He's sometimes trying a bit too hard to be funny. On the whole though, the Stormlight Archives are his best books right now, and definitely a good take on epic fantasy.

The following are definitely spoilers, and definitely about the end of the book:

I AM SOMEWHAT CONFLICTED. On the one hand, I was ready to slap him silly for killing his only true atheist character (Jasnah) off so early, when I was using her so frequently as an apologist for his writing -- that he's willing to see from multiple perspectives rather than letting his religion influence his writing to the point of political statement -- but on the other hand bringing her back at the end of the book took away any of the "no one is safe" stakes that the series has had so far. I understand that it's still pretty early, and that it's inevitable that there will be deaths (the world is ending), but it just yanks at me.

The Warbreaker crossover however ... that is masterful. That is quite masterful.
