Comment on Possession
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 12 hours agoI’m not sure I follow, Shallan isn’t possessed, she dissociates from her negative experiences by switching different personality constructs, that’s not the same as being possessed

I haven’t read the books (yet), so I don’t know how closely it resembles the condition in reality, but crucially, it’s a real thing, it’s not a magical fantasy possesion

I have not (thankfully) experienced the condition in real life, but Sanderson usually does his research on portraying this kind of stuff, so he often hits close.
