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.

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This book is a doorstopper because it's massive. I mean, seriously massive. In my Kindle version, I just read over 1500 pages. I'm a bit exhausted now.

In all honesty, it wasn't as strong as Words of Radiance, but it seriously packed a punch after the 50% mark. The early build-up, plus the book's focus on Dalinar, were too slow for me but once the expedition to Kholinar started, it improved in leaps and bounds.

I still have so many questions, and I think re-reading the series before the next volume comes out will be a requirement, because I had forgotten so much stuff. The world-building can get a bit overwhelming.

Still, it puts the epic into epic fantasy. The next volume could be a bit shorter please, because I find I no longer have time or patience for glacial pacing.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

This is a worthy addition to The Stormlight Archive series. It has everything you could love about the prior books and so much more. Despite the odd pacing at the start, it quickly picks up and delivers the frenzied pace we have come to expect from Sanderson. I'll eagerly await the continuation of this saga in the years to come.
