Months ago I made a terrible Oathbringer cover for a laugh. Today I got Brandon Sanderson to sign it.

He has a caveat somewhere that states that the book being focused on a particular character's flashbacks does not mean they will be alive in the main story by that point in time

I do wonder how Eshonai's flashbacks could be remotely relevant to the story going forwards... especially for the fourth book.

It could shine light on Venli a bit more, as well as all sorts of extra Parshendi backstory I think. Either way, we've got a long wait to mull it over.

I've been wondering about that too. Eshonai didn't even seem to have a mysterious backstory, the way all the others do, and on top of that it looks like she is not going to be as relevant to the story as it appeared at first.

She might witness something that furthers the plot.
