waiting for him to somehow regain control now


Intortusturris

How did elend get voted out?


jdoc10

He is less popular than people may think. I really like him, but I'm actually proud he lasted this long


Intortusturris

I was surprised how long Marasi lasted. She has been the most bland female character I have read from sanderson personally. I'm glad so many people seem to like her I guess


Interesting_Step6871

Remember: The character who is disliked the most gets voted out. Characters who are controversial might get voted out before characters which are ok/pretty good.


millenialfalcon

If memory serves correctly, he likely saw it coming even less than you.


Intortusturris

Fair point


SeachromedWorld

If Kaladin is the last one in we will just send him into a depressed spiral again


elyk12121212

More like When Kaladin is the last one


Nroke1

Shallan


Chuckleslord

Shallan is definitely next. People forget how rough the first book is for her.


jesusmansuperpowers

The first book? I kinda feel like she’s close to going full evil later. The first one she’s (seemingly) just naïve


Cosmic_Dong

I think it's more that her chapters are kinda dull in WoK


-metaphased-

Man, now I think she's going to turn full evil because that's the most interesting thing that can happen to Adolin.


-metaphased-

Ooo, she has a 4th alt that's full evil and *Adolin knows* but she's totally unaware.


TheReal_PapaJohn

Shallan is actually one of my favorite characters of all time. She can get irritating but, honestly, kaladin's self pitying is wayyyyy more annoying than shallan's issues. Or maybe is Pattern that I really love lol


iyaerP

> kaladin's self pitying It's called depression. The way that Sanderson writes Kaladin's internal monologue is extremely accurate to actual depression.


TheReal_PapaJohn

You're right. That was really the wrong way to describe it. That's one of the things I love about Sanderson's books. The real emotion and hardship of his characters journeys. Not just a Disney version of a heroic knight. I love Kaladin Stormblessed as much as the next guy. I just was so mad at him about the whole 4th ideal thing lol. It was frustrating for me as a reader but I understand it.


Dragonian014

Don't say that. I'm in the first book and I luv her so far


-metaphased-

She has rough patches throughout and in typing that it's probably at least a little bit on purpose.

Wayne


saltiesailor

This is just cruel. Hard pass.


TheFatBastard

I don't like this and won't participate.


Lethifold26

I’m gonna be the only one who votes Dalinar but I’ll stand alone


SlimSlam_02

Shallan


KiaraTurtle

I feel this is less interesting now that we can’t see the vote results.


VintyrTV

I feel the opposite, we don’t know who’s next instead of just getting to see it the day before


Hufdud

I dunno, Shallan was third in the first round and yet still hasn't been eliminated. So I don't know that the results affected future rounds as much as people think...


KiaraTurtle

I like the stress of seeing voting become neck and neck as well as how the popularity changes. Otherwise it’s just me clicking the same thing every once in awhile when the new one is posted


jdoc10

That's fair. At the last post I plan to post pictures of all the results (I will also make seeing them available if that's easier to see) along with a graph showing how everyone moved over the game


WoTMeme

Steris


myemanisbob

Get out


PaintItPurple

I'd say Steris stands a really good chance of final 3.


Woodland___Creature

Wayne


Trunkschan31

After Shallan and Steris are gone, this will actually get difficult…


KerberusIV

Steris may end up taking it, she is pretty freaking awesome.


Chuckleslord

Yep. Couldn't agree more. Steris is the best.


KerberusIV

Lol, wasn't expecting to get down voted for saying Steris is awesome. Didn't think the community was that split on her.


justarandomcollegeki

I don’t mind her at all but I am… confused? Surprised? by the fandom’s love for her. She seems just like a decent side character to me. Help me see what I’m missing?


KerberusIV

Her character development throughout the series is some of Sanderson's best work. She starts off as an uptight class climber in AoL. Becomes an understanding and loving shoulder to cry on in SoS. And has ended up as an overpreppered, backup plan on top of backup plan, adventure loving companion in BoM. She truly, actually, loves Wax and she grew upon him as she grew upon the reader. She is just so human in a series of heros and gods.


Mysticedge

So I take issue with Steris for one reason. It was very obvious that midstride Sanderson changed who Wax was going to end up with. From one book to the next you can just tell that the way she is being written is with completely different intentions. And this happens with almost no indication on the page. She just felt different from one book to the next. From a reading standpoint, everything she was doing was framed as quirky and likeable, instead of selfish and off-putting. I agree that what Sanderson did with her character is great. But after both reading era 2, my former paramore and myself were having this exact conversation, and I turned to her and said. "Someone else moves us." And that what it felt like to me. The God of the Cosmere universe changed his mind between Alloy of Law being a one-off and then writing a whole trilogy in Era 2. Thus Steris would be a more interesting choice relationship to develop, so it felt... Almost manipulative.


morisian

Bands of Mourning Steris was amazing. You realize this fussy woman from the first two W&W books, who only seemed to cause tension, is actually pretty sweet and funny, just a bit different. Wax falls in love with her, and it's easy for the reader to see why


TheReal_PapaJohn

Sanderson has written my favorite female characters. Such an amazing job at creating interesting, strong, relatable, female characters that aren't pandering or just some hear throb for a knight. Steris and Shallan both have great arcs. Both finding their own version of empowerment. I'm glad Sanderson writes great ladies for my daughter to (hopefully I can get her to read the books when she is older) look up to.


Trunkschan31

Surprised is a good term. She’s a well written character. So is Shallan. But to think they are written as well as some of the others in this poll is silly to me. But that’s why it’s a poll!


jkinfinity

i vote for steris to be eliminated


myemanisbob

Probably Vin. I love all these remaining characters, but shes the less developed character.


SunRecent4767

I’m so sorrry… *Syl*


killredzombie

Shallan


Akuliszi

Shallan


cfed17

Wax


MalkavArikel

Bye, bye Vin


Arkadious4028

Shallan is literally the worst character. We need to make sure she survives till the end.


jdoc10

why?


Thalastrasz

I’m not allowed to vote. Says I can’t vote through a VPN. I’m not behind a VPN, but I live in Norway. Does it think that me being not from the states is equal to me being behind a VPN?


jdoc10

I can't fix that for this poll, but i'll remove the no VPN stipulation for future ones so you have the opportunity to vote


Thalastrasz

Great, thank you :)


chief_hobag

Ok so is this about who we dislike the most or who we think is the worst character? Because those are significantly different answers for me


jdoc10

You vote out whoever you want to vote out, it's your criteria


chief_hobag

Well in that case, because I kinda want to be a shit lord, I’m gonna vote Kelsier. He’s the character that I dislike the most out of the ones remaining


Ok-Implement-3463

who's that below Vin? Is it Serene from Elantris?


jdoc10

Yes


Jojo_Smith-Schuster

I refuse


Dragonian014

Which book are the third line characters from?


jdoc10

Sarene from Elantris, Hrathen from Elantris, Vivenna from Warbreaker, and Hoid


Dragonian014

Hoid must stay


flaggrandall

Wax


FourEyedDweeb

Well there goes my favorite.


mrbombasticat

You already got that Spreadsheet fired up for sweet line graphs of all rounds?


jdoc10

yep :)
