What a let down. Talk about just rambling on forever with nothing really happening. It was a massive let down and I hope that the next book harkens back to what the books were like with movement and change with in the development of the story. ………………………….

Kept waiting for this story to get going and it never did. Total waste of time and money.

He’s good, Robert Jordan was a master and found his equal!!!

The only reason I’m giving this four stars is because it felt a little slow at times. Again, it is the Stormlight archive and it continues to be the epic story it was designed to be all the way back in the first book. This book has so many revelations and points where you begin to question everything you’ve read so far. Sanderson also continues to deliver with his incredible characters. Kaladin’s portrayal of depression is a standout in the book and is both beautiful and really heartbreaking. The ending of the book leaves me theorizing for the next chapter of this amazing story.

What can I say? It’s Sanderson in top form for this chapter in the stormlight archive. Rarely do you have the pleasure of reading a series that remains as fresh and enthralling as this is. My only regret is that I now must wait for the next book to publish. I will be counting the minutes.

Once again, Sanderson has created a stunning addition to the Stormlight series. Like the books (full sized novels, not the novellas) before it, we dove into the backstory of a character: Venli. We also were transported into Shadesmar, visiting the Honorspren capital, which was really cool. And the climax… oh… it was amazing. I’m not entirely sure whether I liked this book’s climax better, or Oathbringer’s better. I think I’m not sure because they’re great in different ways. I’ll be honest, I actually cried. Not because I was sad, though that almost happened too, but because there is such a touching scene. And then Kaladin gets some major character development! Yay! *dances around throwing confetti* Yes, he’s my favorite character. But oh ho ho. You thought I was done. NOPE! The climax was crazy, but just WAIT until the epilogue… And then the book ends. And I now have to wait. Oh well. I’m sure the next book will be stunning too, so I can be patient. Sanderson may be an INCREDIBLY fast writer, but he has other books to work on (such as Secret Projects #3 and #4) and these books are LONG. Super great though! I LOVED it!

Poor Mr cephalopod, but you should read the book.

The spoilers-free reviews of this book were the reason for me to pick up this series in the first place, and after reading the first 3 books and 2 novellas I was ready to have my mind blown. That probably was the reason the first 3/5 of this book felt slow to me, but because I knew Sanderson wouldn’t disappoint I kept reading, not skipping anything, and got all the feelings I was hoping to get in this book, the same ones that i’m getting used to having while reading about this beautifully created universe, Thank you Brandon.

Best book series I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend enough. Brandon Sanderson delivers yet again with his fourth entry of the stormlight archives!

I like a long book. I’ve read a dozen of Sanderson’s books. This one was longer than any other and had less payoff. It’s still good and moved the story forward, but the ending wasn’t a big enough payoff for all the work it took getting there.
