The eagerly awaited sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Words of Radiance, from epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, at the top of his game

In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe whose numbers are as great as their thirst for vengeance.

Dalinar Kholin's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: the enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, an din its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.

Nestled in the mountains high above the …

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Storygraph'

I thought the book dragged a bit, and I was planning to take a break from the series, but that ending went hard.

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

After pondering this for a while, I think I'm going to land on a soft 4 stars. I have had a complicated relationship so far with The Stormlight Archive, not because I dislike it at all (I really like it a lot!) but I feel there are so many technical components of Sanderson's writing that really hold this series back from its full potential. But I think a lot of my criticisms of the first two books were, in some part, addressed and changed for the better in the third book.

Firstly, the story moves as a much more consistently, engaging pace in this book. Action is dispersed throughout the story rather than being offloaded to the final 50 pages. There's a LOT of overarching story development taking place, making the reader feel a little less lost in where this big story is leading. The character development is really on …

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

On my second read (listen, actually -- the Graphic Audio version is good), this book is kind of a slog. Most of the first three-quarters of the book tends to draaaag on forever with lots of lame politicky stuff and people wandering aimlessly. Stuff happens, but it's not nearly as fun to read the second time as the previous books. At least the ending is good, which is always the case with Sanderson's books.

Now I can finally start the "new" book (from 9 months ago).

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

Just so god damn epic. It is still somehow that classic high fantasy but done in an entirely unique way.

I didn't know how you could top that Heavy-Metal-cover storm-surf ending of the previous book but somehow he took it to a whole other level.

The only upsetting thing is realising I have to add in the entire Mistborn series to my reading list, if it's anywhere near as good as these books and also ties in then I don't even have a choice.

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

October 2020 Reread:
But sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a person who is in the process of changing.

Oathbringer remains five stars on the re-read and may be my favorite of the Stormlight series, but yet I know so little about the larger world and universe. I was prepared for the scope of the story to expand drastically with this book but I was still overwhelmed. 1200 pages is a tome but it doesn't drag. Each chapter, story and character moves the tale forward.

But merely being tradition does not make something worthy...we can't just assume that because something is old it is right.

Unfortunately I still find Shadesmar to drag. Everything is so new, different and you learn as the characters do so it's a challenging place to understand. I expect the Cognitive Realm will continue to be a setting going forward and Sanderson intentionally told us …

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

This book takes Dalinar Kholin from "a good character" to easily my favorite character in the series so far. Oathbringer reveals Dalinar's deepest flaws and delivers some gut wrenching, tear jerking scenes while doing it. Brandon doesn't pull any punches here in showing the people of Roshar living the human (and listener, I guess) condition, while keeping the action interesting and subverting some expectations along the way.

третя книжка серії тягнеться нескінченно. вже літають всі, вже ті чарівні мечі в кожного... а все ніяк ворожнеча не здається =) автора вистачило на дві книжки, третю висмоктано з пальця, нмсд.

Review of 'Oathbringer' on Goodreads

Superb. Sanderson forged this story like a sword: balanced. The "I knew that would happen" moments and the "I did not see that coming" moments fade and advance in perfect harmony. I still enjoy the characters. Now the wait begins for the next installment.

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

Look, I'm an emotional guy; especially as I've gotten older I cry at the drop of a hat at movies, shows, that They Lived Subaru commercial, a good song, memories, all of it.
But never until the Stormlight Archive have I understood--EXPERIENCED--why people cry over books. Never have I openly sobbed at the beauty of redemption, and forgiveness, and grace, and honor.

This book is the most important step a man can take, and that is all I can say about it.
