Quick bug report in version 4.2:

Women chasing runaway geese, men pulling donkeys laden with spring seed, and children leading sheep the village on their way to pasture.

'leading sheep the village on their way' extraneous 'the village'?

The last line of chapter 17, is it supposed to be cryptic to Siri and/or the reader? He could be trying to make her paranoid. He could be giving a genuine warning. He could be trying to comfort her, saying not to let the politics of the court get to her.

I like Lightsong. As for Blushweaver I don't think I like her much, but thats mostly because Lightsong doesn't seem to think much of her and I trust his judgement.

And seriously, stop torturing us with the drawn out Siri / God King interaction  ;)

Read chapter 7.
I'd say the God King is pretty ominous, but then again the way its written, I have to wonder whether he is just a puppet for others.

Right now I'm really wanting more backstory on the change of rule in these kingdoms, how long has it been since Siri's people were cast out? Who was the ruler before the current God King? Stuff like that.

In regards to the age of Siri and the other siblings, the standard in fantasy seems to be to marry them off young, so Vivenna being sent at 20 seems quite old. Now I guess the reason for the standard in fantasy is because in human history when life expectancy was shorter you needed to be married and having children as soon as possible. So the question is in the Warbreaker world what kinds of things would effect the standard age of maturity/marriage/etc?

I'm following along just fine, the 4 different viewpoints don't seem to cause too much problems.

With regards to the cook, you've got a lot of complex characters and we know she has an interesting history, but maybe theres a way to expose that better early on, make sure she's useful.
