The problem with aether was more in the story about the Shards and the fell twins. I felt that it was too less of it and what was there, was too disjointed and rushed which gives the impression that it is two separate books that have been mushed together.. I did not see the Vo-dari plot twist coming.. but i still do not like it. It does not make much sense. Why would they do that. Why would someone like Patriarch, who had earlier, come across as a wise man, just give in and plan for this to happen.. He planned for a long time, it appears. There was no real explanation given by him about why or how Vae convinced him. So, it came across as a plot-twist for the sake of a plot-twist, which is a first from brandon for me.. Also, the two plots: whole ''selection of the bride'' vs the ''impending apocalypse'' was a little ridiculous and did not mix coherently. I did like Darro, though, i think in the end, he did prove that he would have made a decent heir too.. There was no consequences for Laene too..
On the magic system, I feel like Amberite and its blade and plate, appears to be similar to shardblades and shardplates of Roshar. They can be formed on command, they are invincible against normal weapons, aether blades and plate heal and when released they dissolve. They come across as alive and the plate when covering your face is translucent. So, i think this idea has been consumed by brandon in Stormlight. Aethers seem to be alive, but are they shardblade-alive or just providing connection to gods.. i think the latter.. So, this aether, if became canon, might be different from as it is now..
Yes, it would.
The real question is why level with aether Cadence / Blade Arc when it can be done as physical Cadence / Blade Arc instead. Less complications that way and plays pretty much the same.
At this point, the maven-aether-provider from the Apache Maven project is probably the most interesting extension as it brings support for, well Maven repositories. So if you're looking for a way to consume artifacts from the Central Repository, Aether in combination with the Maven Aether Provider is your best bet. Usage of Aether in this way does not only ease your work when dealing with artifacts but also ensures interoperability with other tools that work with Maven repositories.
