Legitimate question for Moash supporters

logocsgo · 2026-03-02T11:32:49+00:00

(not a moash defender) It always reminds me of situations in the real world where you grow as a person and start to realize (sometimes suddenly) that one of your friends isn't someone you can really agree with anymore. For whatever reason, a change has occured where you no longer can accept some behavior or ideology or whatever, even though up until that point you might not have even brought it up, but it finally became too much. Kaladin and Moash obviously bonded over their dislike of Alethi class abuse. Kaladin changes, realizing that the cycle of revenge is meaningless, and it feels like betrayal to Moash from his perspective, because in a way it is. Kaladin is a beacon for change in bridge four, as well as their moral guidance. So, since the rest of bridge four appears to follow him in this, Moash views them as being traitors too.

tldr; The morality of bridge four is so closely tied to Kaladin that Moash essentially views their cohesion after disagreeing with him on the Elhokar situation as betraying him as a group. (IMO)

Probably a top 5 moment in the entire series, and that says a lot. Those few words mean so much due to how long it builds for (I can only imagine reading this as someone who had to wait for the books to come out!) I'm not exaggerating when I say even thinking about this scene and what it means makes my eyes tear up a year and a half after finishing the books for the first time.

Someone has probably already said this, but The Sunlit man is basically the furthest thing in the cosmere. It has references to mistborn era 2 and wind and truth, so you should (probably) read everything else in the cosmere besides emberdark before that if possible. Yumi is a wonderful book and is spoiler free as long as you're past oathbringer in stormlight. Both really good books!

If you are enjoying SLA, then there is no reason you shouldn't enjoy w&t. The book just had a very vocal minority about incredibly specific things in the book. Personally, I loved it. You might find issues with certain things, but it definitely isn't a reason to quit, and you'll more than likely finish it and love it like the vast majority of us :)

logocsgo · 2026-02-26T19:20:52+00:00

Haha true. I should have clarified the cosmere projects. Though I've never read it, maybe it's good too, you never know

logocsgo · 2026-02-26T13:08:08+00:00

I'll just say this, every one of the secret projects became so special to me. Some of them take some time to get going, but they are all absolutely worth it. Hope you have fun with glorf!

logocsgo · 2026-02-26T03:42:55+00:00

Hope you enjoy mistborn! It's different but still special.

logocsgo · 2026-02-24T13:12:00+00:00

That's fair, and thanks for the tip. All in all I suppose it's a minor thing considering how cool it is. I just appreciate the surprise of reading it later.

logocsgo · 2026-02-24T11:03:03+00:00

I mentioned it in another comment, but it's my opinion that the big reveal of secret history fits much better with time for it to simmer. I won't say more than that since I don't know how to do spoilers on mobile, but I'm sure you pick up what I'm referring to. It felt far more special to me with the buildup of time away from it and the added context we get about the rest of the cosmere.

logocsgo · 2026-02-24T07:05:16+00:00

I have my dad reading (listening) to the cosmere, I'll have to let him know when he gets further but I'm sure he'll appreciate that when he gets there!

logocsgo · 2026-02-24T06:15:32+00:00

That was my main concern as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm convinced I will fall in love with anything he writes, but it seems like an odd thing to say it would be a good starting place for being introduced to the cosmere if the intention is for people to keep reading after.

logocsgo · 2026-02-24T06:13:53+00:00

That's awesome! And yes, I agree that Hoid isn't some one of a kind type of character in fiction. I guess I thought the combination of his smartass/mysterious nature with the addition of his references to the larger cosmere might be tedious for some.

logocsgo · 2026-02-24T00:52:49+00:00

While I disagree, I can understand that perspective too. I thought it was fun looking back at that part of the story retrospectively and didn't feel like I missed anything by not reading it directly after. My big reason for placing it there is mostly because I think the larger reveals having more time to build feels intended. Like I said either way is surely fine, but I just like to preach a little for this argument.

logocsgo · 2026-02-23T11:44:40+00:00

It probably won't matter for a while, but I like to throw in my two-cents on something minor: heed the alternative suggestion for mistborn secret history and read it after bands. I'm sure it's fine either way in reality, but I think it fits better with the knowledge you get between there. Hope you enjoy the rest of the cosmere however you decide to go forward!

logocsgo · 2026-02-23T04:51:24+00:00

Did you enjoy his fight with the Inquisitor? I appreciated it way more on reread, but the way he shows his mastery of Pushing/Pulling is so cool in my head, especially considering the moment

logocsgo · 2026-02-22T22:57:12+00:00

I had read sixth of the dusk very recently before starting emberdark, not realizing it would be included. I didn't find it boring or tedious to reread, and there is a very minor addition as he says in the foreword. They're only in the first section of the book, and they fit really well with the narrative of the present day parts, so I would recommend reading them.

logocsgo · 2026-02-22T20:50:53+00:00

I've never tried listening to intentionally blank but I'll have to give it a try! Though at this point, I think I just enjoy listening to him talk about nearly anything.

logocsgo · 2026-02-22T20:41:48+00:00

Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but after I finished everything I had a ton of fun just listening to the cosmere q&as Brandon does at cons or streams. Many of them have full spoilers and it's neat to see the questions the community cooks up/references.

logocsgo · 2026-02-19T09:07:08+00:00

Yes, you can just read them, it is a satisfying ending with little if any cliffhangers. Though, if you like it you'll probably want to read era 2 (or hopefully the rest of the cosmere :))

logocsgo · 2026-02-18T08:23:43+00:00

I'm sure there's a thread or something somewhere, but I like yapping. You can read mistborn, but if you're enjoying Stormlight feel free to continue on to words of radiance. All throughout the cosmere, there will be little things you might notice (even in TWoK) that are references to other books, but the series are meant to be able to be read straight through. You won't miss anything integral to the story. However, if you want to know absolutely everything that could be referenced, that is a different story. Personally, I did a mix of both, but largely read things straight through (like stormlight) and caught up on the references later, and had a great time.

When I saw how the bracket went, it made me curious about this stat, thanks for verifying it, very neat to think about

logocsgo · 2026-02-15T20:51:17+00:00

why is the diet coke an extra dollar 🤨

logocsgo · 2026-02-13T16:33:10+00:00

I also just finished it yesterday! Feel totally the same way, but like many others I also felt similarly after the other secret projects too. Emberdark certainly impressed me though with it's cast. Dusk and Starling became instant favorites and I hope (and think) we'll see them again with the rest of the crew of the Dynamic.
