Bought the ''no'' erroneously, it would make no sense if he died given his character arc of choosing life over death.

How does that follow? You don't have to choose death to die. They're fighting a god!

Stories follow not only the in-universe logic (i.e: what makes most sense to happen from a perspective of someone living in that world), but also our-universe logic (i.e: what makes a good story). While it makes sense from in-universe perspective if Kaladin dies, it would be poor storytelling if the character whose whole arc was about fighting his suicidal tendencies just died.


@LivInTheLookingGlass Can you please resolve?

predicts YES

@SirCryptomind Book isn't out yet; close date was presumably set when we thought it'd be sooner.

@Forrest Ok, ill extend the close time since the creator is AFK

The time to kill him off was when he couldn't handle the Fourth Ideal and Teft could surpass him. Probably after Teft had surpassed him, allowing the Windrunners to grow beyond him.

Since that didn't happen, I think it would be very narratively unsatisfying.

I want to bet NO for some emotional hedging, but no amount of mana can make up for that pain.
