The Stormlight Archive | Kaladin Stormblessed Character Study

Kaladin Stormblessed. Surgeon, soldier, slave, bridgeman, captain, and Knight Radiant. Throughout the run of currently published Stormlight Archive novels, he’s worn many hats and has had to bear the burden that comes with each. From his formative days as the young apprentice to his father, the town surgeon, to his life as the leader of the Order of Windrunners in the current iteration of the Knights Radiant, Kaladin has led a life of struggles, triumphs, hardships, and most notably, a deep and wallowing darkness…

I couldn’t have broke down Kaladin’s character any better myself, and I have yet to see any of the other booktubers I follow match this one either.

[@RavensRants]

Wow thank you so much for the encouraging words!

Rumyana Zarkova actually painted Kaladin the way I mostly see him.
He's still raw and torn, I fear the potential in his character to self-destruct. I wouldn't like to see him remain the eternal victim, there's such fragility in him that I can't help but wonder what he'll become...
edit: to answer your questions, I don't see how Kal could have taken any other way than the one he did, apart from the Honor Chasm or the Blackbane leaves. I've not seen Rhythm of War at a nice price yet, so I read it in bits and pieces, no complete read-throughs 3-5 times before offering opinions. But I'm very sure in what I said re. the way he took. What I like about him? He's no hero. He's closer to the concept of Dark Knight/Antihero, which is usually my preferred kind of character.

I have some of my own theories on what may happen to Kaladin but I agree I hope he doesn't remain an eternal victim
