An epic conclusion to the first arc of the Stormlight Archive series.

I honestly don’t even know how to review these books because there is so much in them. Sanderson’s writing is flawless. There are always moments of just about every kind—of humor, deep internal thought as characters become who they are meant to be, major world building plot development, and that just scratches the surface. These are books where it is clear that every word on the page is intentional.

This book brings together all the characters that Sanderson worked so hard to build in book 1. These books are huge, but I have never, not once, been bored or wished I could skip over a chapter.

It’s hard for me to rate the first book in a multiple 1000 page book series 5 stars, but this comes close! This is my first Sanderson read, and I understand why so many fantasy lovers love his stories.
