Navani Kholin

And then back in the old present day, we're seeing Kaladin as he runs and hides through the tower and plots his next move.

We see Navani and Ravoniel doing their thing.

And we briefly go on down to the battlefield with Dalinar and we see Nail again.

We've missed Nail.

What did you guys think of these five chapters?

So, a lot of fun.

I think my favorite part was Navani and Raboniel doing their thing.

I like the dynamic between those two, how they play off each other.

Dalinar determines...

It only calls for the area to be restricted and to summon Navani.

Dalinar determines that the glyphs were inscribed with his knife.

That's not a knife.

This is my knife.

And Navani says that they were probably etched by Dalinar himself.

What a kooky old man.

Him and his crazy seizures.

In a non...

The anti-investiture built by Navani is functionally the same, but it's not self-aware, not necessarily from ambition.

And that's the distinction in my mind right now.

But we'll let the Arcanist drill down on me later, end quote.

like the lay person is going to see them as essentially the same things.

The scientists, the scholars, the arcanists can be nitpicky about it.

What that means to me is that what Navani and Rabaniel create in Rhythm of War is equivalent to what is going on with them now.

It is anti-investiture.

Because so much of the stuff, it does feel like, you know, younger, you know, love and stuff and everything.

Even Dalinar and Navani had a little bit of older stuff.

But it was still like Dalinar having trouble looking at her.

This one, it just feels like two adults that just have a desire for each other.

Kadash agrees to do more research for Adolin.

Navani is on an observation pa- platform supervising an experiment to use a fabrial to raise a platform into the air.

The attempt was successful.

Cue Anakin Skywalker shouting, "It's working!"

When he's doing the po- um, kills kids.

Yep.

Uh, Adolin [laughs] joins Navani, and Navani explains in technical terms how they were able to make the platform float.

Adolin's eyes glaze over in lack of understanding until he thinks about the military potential for this.

Sill tells Kaladin something's wrong and the one who hates is coming.

Kaladin quickly heads to Dalinar and Navani, telling them that they need to get to the king and head to the war camps.

They quickly leave and find a dark hallway with the spheres drained of light and a hole cut into the palace through the rock wall.

Ruh-roh.

The two share ideas on how to live regardless, before a scratching sounds outside, and Kaladin, cautioned to the wind, throws open the door, and finds Dabit, the first man that he'd saved on the Shattern Plains.

He welcomes his Bridge Four brother in and immediately sets him to work caring for Teft, so Kaladin can take on a new mission for Navani, finding out how the singers are using the Oathgates.

And thankfully, with his one surge adhesion remaining, Kaladin can scale the tower's side between the balconies.

And though he's too late to discover the Oathgate secret, he discovers something just as valuable.

So that was a fun kind of moment.

And he's looking to get information on the Oath Gates, but...

Really, he thinks to himself, what would be better than information could be getting a working span read for Navani.

So, that'll be fun.

Yeah.

Which is how Navani was like moving away.

Right.

From.

Yeah.

But if you arrived on Rashar and Navani was telling you like, well, this is how we do Fabriol's now, but we used to in the past, just like straight up chapter capture them.

Yeah.

And that's where they have, you know, this ability now, a metal box that could be aluminum, that could be the equipment is like drawing them in, that's making a little bit of a tone to pull them.

I think you guys will be interested in some of the names we see and interested in some of the names we do not see.

So our perspectives for chap- for part three are Kaladin, Navani, Dalinar, Venli, Eshonai, Jasnah, and Renarin.

Hmm.

So is Eshonai alive? Interesting.

So I'm like, oh, now I have to wait however long.

But, uh, the rest of the stuff, I guess, uh, if I had to assume, I'd say Kaladin is g- like, Kaladin's section is gonna be die hard in Urithiru.

He's the John McClane hiding in the, in the, like, the closed off bits of the tower, s- doing sweeping raids on the Parshendi, and, you know, you got Navani as Holly McClane just trying to be like a, "Oh, what's he, what's he up to?" And then I guess the pursuer is that guy Carl, who's just going after him with a vengeance irrationally.

For, for some reason you said Carl, and I know the, the German guy's name is Carl, but I was thinking Carl Winslow, who the, the police officer in that movie also played-
