Brandon Sanderson / Re: Warbreaker: Free Ebook

I've discovered this book I think last summer already and been reading the first chapters back then but due to my studies had no time to keep reading it. I have now used three days of my short break wisely enough on catching up. I enjoyed it a lot.
First off, I am glad you cut Mab out of joining up with Siri. It felt to be needless (I know that sounds wrong but I cannot think ofa bett. Yet in the draft there is a small discontinuity error you might have already changed. I am not sure. Siri sends guards in the 2.0 version twice back. Once before she enters the palace and the second time she tells Bluefingers to order them to return to Idris.
Lightsong is my favourite character from the first time he appeared. The way he questions his divinity and tries to figure out who he was paired with his sarcasm... I love reading about him and am looking for more! What puzzles me though is his priest Llarimar. He seems so fiercefully loyal to Lightsong. Is he then different from the priests that are using Susebron as puppet and not involved in whatever goes on with the priests? His loyality is certainly interesting and makes me wonder hard who Lightsong used to be and his connection with Llarimar in his former life.
Vivena suffered in the last chapters an awful lot and it all happened in such a short time to her. However two things puzzled me. First, I think I saw this mentioned already, that Denth was surprised she knew how to change the commands on Clod. He sat right next to her just a couple of hours prior to that event when Jewels repaired Clod and he was explaining Awakening to her. She is not stupid so she well know what that meant. Denth should have left by then or have been preoccupied so he would have missed it.
Second when she finds the safehouse, why didn't they wonder about her trying to hide in the safehouse? Why didn't they question her wounds at her hands from the binding? I mean both were obvious reasons to doubt their own fear of her having found them out.
However, I am a bit sorry for Denth betraying her. He and Tonk Fah are such enjoyable characters with their brutal humour Denth's almost fatherly patience towards Vivena. Their storyline promises to be very interesting.
