Summary

After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage.

Now, as new technological discoveries begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals and potentially reveal the secrets of the ancient tower that was once the heart of their strength.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

deep lore and good depiction of trauma

After relistening to all four full books in the Stormlight archive series in the last 3 weeks, I decided to review with them all fresh in mind.

Sanderson has recently become my absolute favourite author. His worldbuilding is excellent and engaging, his magic-system with the surges, fabrials and shards is thoughtprovoking and deep. In this book, Sanderson expands hugely with explanations of the magic and laws of Roshar (and by proxy, the Cosmere).
For some people this book may be too slow to keep interest up. Especially after the previous books, who in my opinion had a much faster pace. For me, this was excellent. I loved the focus on exploring and explaning the fabrials, lights, tones, spren, fused and listener/singer culture. Not to mention the characters and their journey of growth.
Some reviews I read before reading this book noted that some of the characters (primarily Kaladin) were depressing to follow. I find myself agreeing with that statement, but not in a bad way. The way battleshock and PTSD is depicted is humanising and relatable in ways many pieces of media fail. His journey and destination was bitter and trudging. I want to say bittersweet.
All in all, easily one of the 10 best books I've ever read.

Amazing. Of course.

This was sensational. A rollercoaster. By now would we expect anything else from Brandon Sanderson? Of course not.

Journey Before Destination

This is the first Stormlight Archive book I got at launch and I'm devastated I have to wait so long until the next one.

Bar a couple of data corruptions early on in the book, I thoroughly enjoyed this as much as the last 3 (and the 2 novellas!).

A great story being told here.
