" ...  Adolin felt very much a supporting character, and it seemed very contrived that he would continue to just be the same token normal dude even though he has such close relationships with multiple Radiants and all of their friends are developing powers except him.  ...  "
comment
" ...  On the other hand Dalinar was nicely fleshed out, and became more nuanced, but at the same time I was not that lost in his story.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Shallan on the other hand regresses as a character through most of the novel.  ...  "
comment
" ...  In its cohesiveness and expansiveness, the Cosmere feels almost like Tokien-esque. ... All of these characters have time in Oathbringer, some a lot more than others, but watching their choices shape them has been delightful and satisfying.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Sanderson answers so many questions in this one, and overall the book feels extremely rewarding.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I know they were engaged, but it feels like they don't even know each other so well.  ...  "
comment
" ...  While others may feel that the focus on Dalinar's past was a detraction from the book I found the chapters devoted to him well worth the time and effort put forth in its creation.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I've yet to read anything by Brandon Sanderson and not feel sheer delight and inspiration the whole way through.  ...  "

comment
" ...  With that said, The Stormlight Archive has been one of my favorite series of the past several years--ever since I purchased the hard copy version of The Way of Kings in 2010.  ...  "

" ...  Waited a long time for the return of this series and it did not disappoint.  ...  "

" ...  First few chapters pulled me right back into the world Sanderson built and I'm looking forward to the rest of it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Sanderson does well to build up to the climax and when all the different characters come together for a gripping finale.  ...  "
comment
" ...  A vast array of characters, a deeper understanding of Surgebinding and the lost secrets of the Knights Radiant, a better look at the alien world of Roshar, giant teleporting swords and magic power armor, swearing that doesn't offend, a set of flashbacks focused on one of the main characters, and a better understanding of how the epic story being told in this ten-book series fits into the even larger meta-epic of the Cosmere.  ...  "
comment
" ...  In its cohesiveness and expansiveness, the Cosmere feels almost like Tokien-esque.  ...  "
comment
" ...  In true Sanderson fashion, however, Dalinar is not the only main character.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It's just that it is rather familiar style to for me to get focused on single main character and Kaladin is my most favorite character ever.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I've yet to read anything by Brandon Sanderson and not feel sheer delight and inspiration the whole way through.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Kate and Michael crush it again.  ...  "
