10 Important Things You Missed in The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive)

Did you know that THE END of Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson is somewhere written in The Way of Kings or Words of Radiance? I reread The Way of Kings to find every little detail that might have an impact- finding for you 10 CRITICAL moments that I was only able to catch after the reread (and investing more than 20 hours down the rabbit hole of Reddit, Coppermind, and 17th Shard!).

👀 PLEASE, be aware that there are spoilers for The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer & Rhythm of War. I haven't read (yet!!) the released chapters of Wind and Truth, so that should be safe! I am also including some bits and pieces about the lore of the Cosmere (shards / Adonalsium). But I tried to keep it safe so that it doesn't spoil other Cosmere series.

I hope this is as useful and mindblowing to you as it was to me! Please let me know your thoughts!! Let's discuss it!

Here is the absolute source of truth for everything Stormlight (in case you want to join the ride of going down every rabbit hole opened by Sanderson!)
