I'm with you on Maya. I think it's going to be the start of a lot of others too. I wonder if it will be different somehow though, like with Renarin's bond. Is Renarin speaking ideals with his corrupted spren?

That epilogue was interesting. Taravangian as Odium is scary. I couldn't tell exactly what happened though. Did he delete the memories, and then replay then scene, or did he just change the memories? Either way, scary power there.

Someone else I talked to mentioned that they thought Taravangian would try to get Hoid as his champion. I'm not sure I see that. In fact, I wonder if Taravangian purposely throws the contest for some reason I haven't figured out yet.
