The Way of Kings Chapter 69 changed everything for me
I started The Way of Kings after finishing Mistborn Era 1, which I liked to an extent but wasn't really sure that Sanderson was for me. A few chapters into Kings changed my mind. Chapter 69 cemented that and I now have a new obsession for the next couple of months, at least.
He was betrayed by one who he thought was a friend.
He almost died fighting another Shardbearer.
He lost 6.5k men.
He feels his visions might have misled him.
He gave up his own Shardblade.
Dalinar Kholin was having a rough day.
But even after all that...
He walked over to his nephew king who suspected him of treason, beat the daylights out of him just because he can and to show him that if he wanted Elokhar dead - he would be, promoted himself to Highprince of war, and told him that he's banging his mom?! Excuse me?
I honestly thought he was going to get Ned Starked.
P.S. after reading a few more chapters:
No, Szeth. Don't do it. Noooo.
