“You don’t need to be gifted with a blade. You are your own best weapon.”
Fantastic conclusion! I still love Kestral’s mind and how she thinks through what are really puzzles. The quote above was from Risha to Kestral and I think it sums up this series nicely. Weakest in physical strength but strong in strategy. While so much went wrong, all her efforts were not in vain. Roshar is one of my new favorite side characters. His brazen comments and snark frequently made me laugh. Arin’s patience, restraint and love were so romantic and then so satisfying when, finally, all is resolved.
