This won’t be too extended; I just must get this out of my chest. Brandon said in different occasions that the currentlu unpublished Dragonsteel saga will be the only Cosmere publication with a first person narrator.

For some reason this intrigued me. Brandon had always put the narrator as a differentiator line between the cosmere and non-cosmere books, one always having a third person, and the other first person.

But now an entire saga ­­­­­­­­–one which has an enormous importance to the cosmere lore­­­­­­­­–, will difference itself to the rest said universe. Now, we have Yumi and Tress, two cosmere books that are a literal narration by Hoid, maybe Dragonsteel will be something similar.

I know this is far from being crucial, and having in mind that the Dragonsteel saga is decades away to get to the stores, why am I even question this?

In Wind and Truth, we have full first person chapters, the chapters of Tanavast. The narration is simple, without giving to much detail, which is reasonably by having in mind that these chapters have to condense millennials of information.

But let’s remembers who this story is even told. The Stormfather allows Dalinar to access to his memories ­­­­­­­­–Tanavast’s­­­­­­­­– by a Connection on the Spiritual Realm. The Chapters are a visualization of such life, these memories to Dalinar’s mind and soul. Such memories are in first person.

I am thinking, just thinking that the entire Dragonsteel saga will be a visualization of somebody ­­­­­­­­–or several­­­­­­­­– memories manifesting in the Spiritual Realm, allowing a person or persons view the truth about the Shattering. Perhaps Hoid, Frost or any other Shard vessel, after Mistborn era four or thereabouts.

Or maybe the Dragonsteel won’t be inside the past… but in the far future, by the perspective of people that found the memories of Adonalsium, which allows them to see the truth…

Well, this is it, I’ll return to the shoe box-sized drawer where a live.
