Is cooperation with Raboniel possible? With Leshwi? It seems clear that Venli is going to swap sides but is it possible for a singer defection? Or is this all just token manipulation from Raboniel to keep Navani working on her research, and Leshwi's sympathetic attitudes throughout the book just do not extend this far?
Adolins trial is pretty cool. I REALLY hope Shallan does not perform Mraize's plan for Kelek. That would completely destroy any faith spren could ever put into humans again and it's very frustrating that she doesn't even consider it, and it would be a move into straight up villainy for her. The lie she tells herself of just working ghostbloods to gain information on them would no longer be believable.
I'm hoping for a touching moment from Maya or perhaps all of the deadeyes to turn this around for Adolin.
