Annotation Warbreaker Chapter Fifty-Eight Vasher Finds Vivenna I’m torn about this ending. It seems like this last chapter is a little anticlimactic, and yet at the same time, there is still the major conflict of the book to resolve. Or is it the major conflict of the book?

And the second Writing Excuses podcast episode with Mary Robinette Kowal as an…

But since Comic-Con starts earlier…

Annotation Warbreaker Chapter Fifty-Six Vivenna Saves Vasher—Kind Of Vivenna has a few things going for her here. First off, Denth has gotten rid of his Breath. He doesn’t want to have it as he tortures Vasher. It made him too aware, too pained. Being a drab as he does it is easier for him. With…
