The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.

Dalinar Kholin has challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions, and the Knights Radiant and the nations of Roshar have a mere ten days to prepare for the worst.

The fate of the entire world - and the Cosmere at large - hangs in the balance.

This one took a while, but ~1400 pages take a while, especially if you need to look up some of the past books information to remember the details. The epic saga continues and while a lot is explained, even more questions remain open.

Let's see where books 6-10 will leave us in the end. The good thing with Sanderson is that I absolutely believe he will finish the work.

All the answers you could want, but you will want more

5 stars

Apparently Brandon Sanderson decided that filling the last 300 pages with a complex and desperate fight in the previous books was not enough. This time the complex and desperate fight fills the last 1100 pages. It takes place on multiple fronts too.

Sadly, these fronts interact little with each other. You could technically separate each location into its own book and read the stories that way. They still lend "dramatic" support to each other I guess. But it makes it natural to review each place separately!

Adolin: Cool action, cool characters, very satisfying conclusion. Everyone's favorite. ★★★★★

Kaladin, Syl, and Szeth: A road trip with chatting and fighting. It's an important story for the world, but it's not that interesting. What is super interesting and very well presented is Szeth's flashbacks. I thought for sure Szeth was irredeemable! And then Brandon Sanderson pulls this. Szeth is the best. ★★★★★

Dalinar …

Journey Before Destination

This is the ending of the first arc of The Stormlight Archive and it is quite an impressive book. It's very long, and the plot does suffer a bit in the middle parts, but the setting and characters are well established so I felt drawn to it all the way. Overall, it was a great book and a fitting conclusion to this arc. I really want to know what happens next, but suspect it may be several years before we return to Roshar.
