Covers the Prologue of The Way of Kings from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.
We discuss the Prologue through the theme of “Discernment,” examining whether or not Szeth is an active participant in his own life. We also talk about Szeth’s character arc in comparison with Wind and Truth. We try the Mormon sacred reading method of “likening.”
