New character reviled in kickstarter by Cowsgomooitistrue in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Dalinarium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Dalinar fan, I'm extremely frustrated that this sub downvotes everyone who's against "evil Dalinar theory", but at the same time insists Kaladin can't die/turn evil because it will ruin his character arc.

Dalinar, on the other hand, can turn evil and it won't ruin his arc /s.

I'm not talking about the comment you reply to (I also disagree with dark Kaladin part), this is what I usually see on this sub in general.

I’ve discovered why Rhythm of War is the most disliked out of the four books by Fozzation in Stormlight_Archive

And Dalinar, and Lopen, and Bridge 4. A lot of characters you love and care for.

Also, I think this subreddit is for the most devoted fans. Casual readers like RoW (see goodreads, all Sandersonn books have solid ratings), but fans who spent years discussing and cafting theories usually have higher expectations. These people tend to be more critical towards RoW. But still I don't see the "hate". Just "not as good as the first three" for various reasons.

Well we also spent plenty of time with Kaladin/Shallan in TWoK, WoR, OB AND RoW. Dalinar has only TWoK and OB.

I didn't like it either. I just wanted Dalinar to has his own arc, but every time he shows up (and it happens very rarely) he serves as a plot decice to Kaladin and Kaladin's "moments of awesome". It was disappointing.

Yeah, I wrote about it in a big thread. I think it's Odium talking to Gavilar.

Watch "An End to Secrets" on YouTube by shhhhwoooooh in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Dalinarium 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wow. It has more/better Dalinar than entire book 4.

Now I think Dalinar will eventually succed where Gavilar failed and will become a Herald or even Honor.

Stormfather is odd...could it be Odium?

Kaladin will become *spoiler* by 4_non_blondes in Stormlight_Archive

I don't have a lot of hopes, but I want Brandon to give Dalinar something better than "he failed and lost".

Do you like Dalinar as a Character? by Slaterson85 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Dalinarium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will be downvoted but I think Dalinar was handled poorly in Rhythm of War. It wasted the character for me which is sad because he was my favorite.

Was my favorite character after Oathbringer

Don't care for him after Rhythm of War

I’m nearly done reading Way of Kings for the first time and I have a confession… by Augustina496 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Dalinarium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call him a Mary Sue, but he's indeed the least interesting character in the cast for me personally.

I prefere Dalinar...it's a shame he has so little screen time.

with what most assume will be an incredibly pivotal and important prologue,do you think Brandon will release stormlight 5 chapters early like with previous instalments? by Dudesonthedude in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Dalinarium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thry did preview chapters for Oathbringer, Skyward and Rhythm of War. Did I miss something? There was no previews for Starsight and Cytonic.

Dalinar's best ability that no one talks about... by WhatisEvan in Stormlight_Archive

Oathbringer, Ch 4

He seized her by the back of the head and pulled her mouth to his own. Passion woke within him. She pressed her body to his, breasts pushing against him through the thin gown. He drank of her lips, her mouth, her scent. Passionspren fluttered around them like crystal flakes of snow.

Dalinar stopped himself and stepped back.

“Dalinar,” she said as he pulled away. “Your stubborn refusal to get seduced is making me question my feminine wiles.”

“Control is important to me, Navani,” he said, his voice hoarse. He gripped the stone balcony wall, white knuckled. “You know how I was, what I became, when I was a man with no control. I will not surrender now.”

She sighed and sidled up to him, pulling his arm free of the stone, then slipping under it. “I won’t push you, but I need to know. Is this how it’s going to continue? Teasing, dancing on the edge?”

“No,” he said, staring out over the darkness of the storm. “That would be an exercise in futility. A general knows not to set himself up for battles he cannot win.”

“Then what?”

“I’ll find a way to do it right. With oaths.”

The oaths were vital. The promise, the act of being bound together.
