The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive—the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece that has sold more than 10 million copies, from acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare—and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium’s place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide—Adolin in Azir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah in Thaylenah. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiant killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium’s champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Reviews

  • Worst cosmere book

    1
    By Iphone user1024
    This book represents Sanderson’s laziest and cringiest book to date. Excessively long where most pages are filled with modernism and forced woke culture out of nowhere. Massive plot line holes. It was a chore to get through

  • Boring

    Very satisfying end to the first part of the series.

  • Sensational end to the arc

    Once Sanderson sets the final pieces on the board and the action starts this book is just so satisfying for long time fans of the series. So many questions, even those you didn’t realize you HAD to have the answers to, answered. Exceptional charter growth comes to fulfillment across the board. Nobody does it better than Sanderson. He’s proven yet again to be in a league of his own. Can’t wait for more.

  • Well-written and overall thrilling, but with poor pacing and too large a scope.

    Wind and Truth is a grand book, reaching out into the Cosmere in ways beyond that of previous series novels, though it comes at a detriment to the novel itself. The chapters/parts that focus on the Cosmere and not just Roshar are often poorly paced and poorly placed, disrupting the flow of more directly interesting Rosharan stories, as well as taking too long of time to build up their own conclusions. Despite that, this novel has one grand problem: a reliance on the reader having read A LOT of the Cosmere books prior to reading WaT. Previously, one needed to only have read The Stormlight Archive to keep up with itself. Even after Nightblood was introduced at the end of WoR, Warbreaker wasn’t necessary reading to follow the plot of OB. Now, though, I feel fully lost at times reading WaT. Previous nods and references to other media felt like that: nods and references, Easter eggs for devoted readers. Now, it feels as if the entirety of the Cosmere literature is becoming required reading, lest the reader fall further behind the curve and be unable to follow parts of the main plot. Even if it had the potential for some spoilers, I think it would be beneficial if the forward of WaT says something like “this books contains references to the following other pieces of Cosmere Media: ‘Warbreaker,’ ‘Mistborn,’ etc.” It leaves less-informed readers in a catch-22, where they cannot look up details of a confusing plot or character without fear of spoiling the book, but also can’t just table this book in favor of reading all other novels in the hopes of uncovering some understanding. I quite enjoyed this book, but like RoW, the greater focus on the Cosmere has come at a bit of a cost for the stories of Roshar itself.

  • Not his best.

    You can tell he still doesn’t quite know where this story is going. Def journey over destination. However in this book he repeats a lot of the same language, the same debates, the same mechanisms. The characters are starting to feel stale. Their lessons they are still learning should have been learnt by now. The conflicts between their enemies feel repetitive. I love that he FINALLY added some actual romance in characters who should be able to portray love in more than a familial way. While still fun to read, because I’m a massive fan, it slogs. It’s just more teasing with drops of reveals. I mean it covers just 10 days but still. Eliminate some more characters or join them all together. And the backflashes can be done at this point. Move the story forward! This may feel more critical than I intend it to but I mean it more as a suggestion for where he takes the next arc. All in all def a 3. 4 if you love fantasy as much as I do.

  • Unsatisfying

    Will try to keep this spoiler free. I am an enormous fan of Brandon Sanderson. I have read every single one of the Cosmere novels, and I have read some of my favorites multiple times, especially the “Way of Kings” and “Words of Radiance”. This was not Brandon Sanderson’s best work. In previous Stormlight novels, it felt like I was experiencing a character’s development in the moment, growing as they did. Not so in this novel, where I was just told flat out what was happening to the character instead of living it with them. I think that part of this is explained by the premise. It is hard for much to change in ten days, and I think Sanderson limited himself by constraining this novel to those ten days. I have so much more to say about this book but will stop myself in order stay spoiler free. Let me say this. In the other Stormlight novels, there is at least one moment (and often more) of intense emotion that would bring me to the verge of tears. Not so in this one. Many of the twists in this novel are very predictable. Very little action occurring. A rare miss from Brandon Sanderson. 2.5/5

  • Journey Before Destination.

    By SamTheTruthless
    I have read many books in my life but not many have affected me as much as this series has. Brandon Sanderson is a storming genius. All I can say is the journey through these books was so worth the destination and the best part is, that it isn’t finished yet. I could not recommend a series more strongly to someone than this one.

  • Sanderson Does It Again

    5
    By kauffman.jordan
    Brandon Sanderson is a talented story teller with the ability to weave deep truths about what it means to be human and deal with real life topics into fantastical fiction. He continues to share the realities of war and mental health struggles without it feeling like a psa. This is a must read for sci-fi and fantasy fans. I’d highly recommend reading Mistborn, Elantris, and all 4 previous Storm Light archive books before reading this one.

  • Fantastic ending to a fantastic series

    I didn’t know that I wanted the entire last book of the series to be a Sanderlanche until I read it. Can’t wait for book 6!
