Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified. Man, did it make me sleep with a smile on my face at 4am, as I finally put the book down.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, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. Not only did it blow my mind that it made total sense in the end, but skimming through the beginning of book really gave a sense of closure for the whole epic.

Like she had taken the time between to write a recollection of her travels to Shadesmar.Īfter I read the very last line of that chapter, I HAD to go back and reread the preface to Oathbringer again with Dalinar in mind. I loved the ending because originally I thought that Oathbringer was actually written by Jasnah because of her cliffhanger at the end of Words of Radiance and late introduction in Oathbringer.

Even the foreshadowing of Kind Nohadon writing Way of Kings didn't convince me. I was completely convinced that men could not read or write in Roshar, like it was a lost art unavailable to them. I'm very late to the party and just finished Oathbringer a few days ago, after discovering SA about a month ago, but never mind that! I just wanted to say I loved how Brandon ended Oathbringer.Ĭall it a masterclass of taboo, but I literally couldn't guess that Oathbringer was written by Dalinar until it was revealed in the very last line of the book.
