The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive—the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece that has sold more than 10 million copies, from acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare—and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium’s place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide—Adolin in Azir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah in Thaylenah. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiant killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium’s champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for Brandon Sanderson and the Stormlight Archive

Over 10 million Stormlight Archive books sold!

“One of the genre’s most beloved authors.”—TIME

“Sanderson raises the genre stakes… A fan favorite.”—The New York Times

“[Sanderson] is not a brilliant writer of epic fantasy, he’s simply a brilliant writer. Period.”—Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“The genre’s most popular writer… easily one of the most successful and prolific fantasy writers of the century so far.”—Esquire

“Epic in every sense.”—The Guardian on The Way of Kings

“Sanderson is a master of many aspects of the fantasy genre: epic world-building, coherent systems of magic and unforgettable character development. All those are in peak form in his masterwork, The Way of Kings.”—Paste Magazine, “The 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far)”

“Absolutely revels in its fantasy world, one of actual gods, bizarre magic, knights with superpowers, spirits and sorcery, monsters, demons, and magic sword[s] called Shardblades. It embraces the fantastic, and does so with an astonishing amount of creativity . . . Words of Radiance is a must-read.”—io9 on Words of Radiance

“Excellent . . . cranks up the level of intrigue to dizzying extremes…Sanderson’s experiment is working, and he gets better with every book. The journey will be worth it. Yes, you should buy this book. Yes, this is a series worth following to the end.”—Reactor on Words of Radiance

To start off, Kate and Michael are as always amazing narrators, though Kate sounded like she was recovering from a sickness at the start of the Audiobook.

The characters are again amazing in this book but this time around their stories are painfully dull and many characters are left out entirely.
Much of the story feels like pointless padding made to stretch the length and even worse, that padding feels dull. The most interesting perspective of this book IMO was Kaladin, his and Szeth' journey was interesting but could of been deeper and given more focus.
Much of the story is spent retelling the past, including past events you've already read in previous books, not adding as much to these retellings as it should, again feeling like padding, like an anime flashback.
In general outside of Kaladin much of the journey the other characters find themselves upon is dull, boring and uninteresting, the only perspective I enjoyed other than Kaladin and Dalinar at the end was Jasnah, it managed to make her a character I didn't absolutely despise anymore so that's an accomplishment.

I didn't like some of the plot twists introduced in this book as they circumvented characters and events as we understood them, seeming akin to ret-cons, in the case of one important character I feel the change was unwarranted and actively harmed the story. Many of these felt pointless and simply there to wow the reader with a shoe horned twist.
There's also a part of the story in which Kaladin is lecturing another character that comes across like the author is preaching to the reader, written in a way that's out of place for the character and the setting.

The last few hours of the story is pretty good, I think the conclusion was great and sat up the next part well, though I don't believe suffering through the rest of the book to be worth the read just for the conclusion.

One of my largest complaints in the last few books is that everything happens near directly after the previous book, it leads to a sense of incongruity that everything is happening within literal months, it feels unnatural to go from the events of Rhythm of War to the conclusion of the Wind and Truth in less than two weeks in universe.
I hope for part two there will be more time passed in between each book to ensure time for events and character growth outside of the written story, this adds some much needed breathing room and space to introduce new aspects to the story without it feeling rushed or shoehorned in.

TLDR: Wind and Truth is what should of been an Interesting story but was written in a very uninteresting way.

It more than lived up to the hype and expectations. As always Kramer and Reading deliver on the audiobook performance, too!

I can't believe the next release isn't going to be until 2031 and I'm like, gonna be half life by then. I'm so mega sad, what the heck, it's gonna be so long till the next one. But it's so good, I'm sad it's gonna take so long.

I can't believe it

5/5. No notes. I love Michael and Kate's narration and in particular, Nightblood and Pattern. 62hrs flew by and before I knew it, I had finished. Hope to hear them again when the next book comes out someday!

Fantastic conclusion to Act 1
