(I'm not one of those people, I think in RoW Kal's arc is the most interesting it has ever been and it would be really trite for him to do something like that every time, especially after the realizations he came to in Oathbringer, but if you're one of the people who are only or mostly here for the action and epicness with Kaladin) I don't think that's to say things aren't gonna get better for him at all,but Daniel Greene did mention his arc takes a more realistic route.
