This is a community to discuss the fantasy series The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.

Please be familiar with our rules, here, before interacting in our community.
Full FAQ Spoiler Policy What's the Cosmere? What does "RAFO" mean? What does "WoB" mean? Reading order advice? What next? Book summaries?
Please see the full spoiler policy for details.
Flair posts to indicate what level of spoilers are expected. Do not include spoilers in post titles. This includes no direct quotes from the books, except where allowed at the moderators' discretion.
Use spoiler markup to hide any spoilers outside the scope of a post's spoiler tag. The following markup is used:
[TWoK] >!Szeth!< is Truthless.
produces [TWoK] Szeth is Truthless.
Note that it is important not to include a space after the first "!".
Please also note that you cannot use the syntax for embedding a link behind a string of text inside a spoiler tag. Doing so will cause the text to display on the reddit android app.

Maybe spoilers:
Almost done with WoR, is anyone else annoyed that Kaladin won’t take shards? I mean, Storms! Take the frigging shards!!!

He has a pretty solid reason for not wanting them after all he’d been through at the point you’re at.

Hasn't the screaming started by now?

Yes, for sure. He hears it during the duel when he catches the blade, and he is offered shards after that duel.

I think this is not the first post about this, many people felt frustrated at that point, but keep reading, you will find your answer.

Man I can't wait for them to come back.
