Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 23, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I like stormlight archives but I feel that the writing gets worse as we go along. There must be a line between character development and pop psychology, and it feels like along the way EVERY one of the main characters has to go through multiple rounds of "processing" their "trauma". To the ridiculous extent that Kaladin actually invents group trauma therapy for soldiers with PTSD! I loved book 1 Shallan but she gets worse. Loved early Dalinar, he gets worse.

Sandersons mind is an enjoyable place to hang out but honestly his wheel of time ending was stronger than his own books.
