Dalinar Vs. The Chasmfiend (Spoilers)

Description

One of my favorite moments thus far in The Way of Kings.
A group of knights wearing Shardplate giving them superhuman abilities, equipped with Shardblades that could cut through anything, fighting a giant, 30-foot tall crab monster known as the Chasmfiend (or a Greatshell).



Dalinar charged toward the king, moving with a speed and grace no man-not even one wearing Shardplate- should be able to manage. He leaped over a rock shelf, then ducked and skidded beneath a claw swinging for him. Other men thought they understood Shardblades and Shardplate, but Dalinar Kholin … at times, he proved them all children.
Dalinar straightened and leaped-still moving forward-cresting by inches a second claw that smashed apart a rocky shelf behind him.
It was all just a moment. A breath. The third claw was falling toward the king, and Dalinar roared, leaping forward. He dropped his Blade-it hit the ground and puffed away-as he skidded beneath the falling claw.
He raised his hands and-
And he caught it. He bent beneath the blow, going down on one knee, and the air rang with a resounding clang of carapace against armor.
But he caught it.




Great stuff. The whole battle would make for a killer boss battle in an action RPG if done by the right studio.

I'm only a quarter of the way through the book right now, but I'm quite literally in love with it. Every character, Kaladin and Dalinar here especially, are awesome.

This was one of the most epic parts of that book.
