Something you completely missed? [SPOILER DISCUSSION]

SpoilerCradle

So I was wondering if I was just dumb or if anyone else had moments like this.

Has anyone else had a moment where they had to read through something multiple times, maybe in different re-reads/re-listens, to get what was being said? Not in any subtext sort of way like foreshadowing or hints, but just didn't realize the actual meaning of what was going on?

For example, in Bloodline, when Lindon was running on the WT's arm to escape the tail, Dross said "below" (or something similar). It took me 3 listens of that part to realize that Dross was referring to the Earth Aura that the WT used to slow Lindon. I had thought he was trying to tell Lindon to jump downwards off the arm but Lindon wasn't able to. Now that I know it I feel like an idiot, but is there anyone else that has been through something similar with the series?

Yeah, the scene where Eithan rocketed past Lindon and told him to jump. I lost my mental movie, because I didn't know what way he jumped. I thought he jumped up, not down and was a little confused till I got the context a few sentences later.

This is from much earlier in the novels, but the first few times I read through the series, I totally misinterpreted his goldsign appearance for blackflame madra. I somehow thought it was like a small ring of flame around his irises. So, every time people got so freaked out by his eyes, I was like...is that really that scary.

Then I saw fan art and finally, very carefully, reread the description. I felt super dumb because it was quite clear, so I'm not sure how I misinterpreted it like that. Several times.

I missed the part where he left his void key and somehow got onto the Titan's neck

That's. . . A large part of the story. Did you fall asleep? He gave the key to Orthos and he started on his cloud. That got smashed and then he landed on the titan.

I interpreted it as the cloud getting knocked out from under the void key and getting stuck in a doorway floating in mid air

Or something like that. I don't remember 100% of the details
