From what I've read so far, this is certainly Sanderson's strongest work. The world building is simply immaculate, the characters are fantastic with realistic arcs that are amazing to read. My only gripe with this book is that some of the reveals at the end of the Book sort of pop out of left field but it doesn't take away from my overall enjoyment!

Book one of the Stormlight Archive was A LOT of info dumping, character history and background, and of course has the infamous “Sanderlanche” in the last few hundred pages.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and am looking forward to following these characters throughout the rest of the series.

Sanderson is honestly a masterclass in fantasy storytelling and writing. I can’t wait to continue making my way through the Cosmere and see how the stories all collide. 

Also, the Wit… iykyk
