I literally had to close the book and sit quietly with my eyes closed. Even then, my mind reeled for several minutes. I felt sick reading how Kaladin got his slave brand! I can't remember the last time this happened to me while reading a book. After several minutes, I decided that I had to write about this somewhere. And the best place seemed to be my blog on which I had not posted in a couple of years. I had to write about it, I couldn't not write it. So, here we are. More than three hundred pages remain and I am on page 792. Like I said, it is a heavy book. Things are starting to heat up and I eagerly await the Sanderlanche. Among other news, I am happy to share that...
