    #39 Lirin

    Episode Notes Lirin--Kaladin's father--is a complex character that has divided the fanbase for the last ten years. A lot of that came to a head with the release of Rhythm of War, with that relationship taking a somewhat more prominent role. In this episode, I try to explain my view of Lirin--as a character perfect for the Stormlight Archive, having done bad things but ultimately changing for the better.
