Brandon Sanderson / Re: Thoughts about Warbreaker (Could be spoilers)
« on: November 27, 2009, 02:08:32 AM »
After going through a complete read today, there's only one thing really bothering me, and was posted in another Warbreaker thread.
"Of course I didn't realize it the first time through, but now the reference to having up to the Fifth Heightening at any time makes sense ... Vasher could, as he did at the end of the book, revert back to Returned status with its accompanying mega-one-breath-equal-to-2,000-normal-breaths. This raises a number a questions/presumptions. Do all Returned have the ability to revert back to normal human proportions? (i.e., could Lightsong or Blushweaver or any of the other Hallandren gods have done the same thing?) In this process, what happens to the uber-Breath? Vivenna and others with Breath did not sense it ... has it been transferred to an object? or does it just become muted?"
