This was such a good story! I loved returning to this world. Wind and Truth was definitely worth the wait.

This book is incredible, i'm now about halfway through the full release and loving every second. I can't wait to see how it all ends. Each characters story arc so far has been so so good. Brandon never disappoints! Thank you so much for letting me read the extended preview ahead of time.

This little glimpse has just tripled my excitement and expectations for the book. I was anxious of what all could be achieved to bring about an ending fitting the whole arcs build so far in the series. But even within this little glimpse my fears have been allayed and I rest assured that this book will live upto my expectations

Since this is an extended except and not a full book, I it's a little difficult to review it thoroughly, but I greatly enjoyed what I was able to read so far of this book. As always, the writing of this series blows me away. It pulls me into the story and holds my attention without any breaks. I love where the novel is going so far. The way the Stormlight characters continue to develop and grow as they wrestle with their personal development really brings them to life and makes me feel like they are real people that I know and care for. I appreciate how Sanderson weaves the various stories together and brings them into a larger picture story by the end of each book. I look forward to seeing how that will happen in the end of Wind and Truth.

With every book I see the relationships between the characters grow and change, and that feels especially evident and beautiful in this novel. I also adore the banter and humor that improves with every book as well.

I regularly recommend this series and this author to library patrons and friends.

This is a five star read for me so far, and I'm sure the novel as a whole will be too.

I am absolutely blown away. I was immediately and so easily pulled back in, despite the 4 year gap between this and the last book. I cried multiple times before I even made it very far in, and basically cried the whole way through. I was just so happy to be back on Roshar! I adore these characters. Every single one (except you, Moash) will have my heart forever. I will quite literally slowly lose my mind for the next 5-6 years until we are blessed with the next installment. All in all, 10/10, 1 loved it. I'll sing its praises and shout from the rooftop. Bravo and THANK YOU :')

Wow. We’ve had a LONG lead-up to the end of this arc. While I’m glad I got to read it and see how this part of the story of Roshar ends, I’m not ready to walk away. I’m already looking forward to Book 6 and the beginning of the next arc. The Cosmere is just so expansive and wonderful. I’m so thankful that an author like Brandon Sanderson exists to give us these gifts from his imagination. There’s always another secret and there’s always another story.

I feel so lucky to have been approved for an advanced glimpse of the first 350 pages of Wind and Truth, the epic conclusion to The Stormlight Archive. Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity!

Brandon Sanderson once again proves why he’s a legendary name in fantasy. His ability to make you laugh, cry, and marvel at his storytelling is unmatched. This book picks up the pieces left by Rhythm of War and delivers heartfelt reprieves for characters who’ve endured endless hardships. As the stakes escalate with preparations for the contest against Odium and an unexpected invasion, we’re finally treated to answers about pivotal moments from The Way of Kings’ prologue. Plus, some long-overlooked characters get their time to shine.

At a whopping 1,330 pages, this eARC felt like a tantalizing teaser—and I loved every moment of it. I can’t wait to continue the full journey. 💙

A phenomenal start to conclusion of the first era of The Stormlight Archive. I am impressed by how intense this first quarter of the book is and am very excited to continue.

This was amazing to get a snippet of this book!! I have loved everything Brandon Sanderson has written and this was no different! He has a way with words and it is amazing! I cannot wait to get my hand on the full book!

Wow. Firstly it is SO great being back in Roshar and reading about these characters again. This extended excerpt was the perfect amount to get me even more hyped for this book. I'm so excited ( and nervous ) to see where this book is going, and where my favorite characters end up. ( hopefully getting drinks at the end of this book)
Once again, bravo to Mr. Sanderson. You really know how to write a good book.


Thank you Netgalley and Tor Books for this extended of Wind and Truth.

So good! This excerpt hyped me up for the book. I loved every second of it. I just know this book is going to destroy me.

Thank you so much Netgalley and Tor Books for this extended of Wind and Truth. I’ve posted my honest review below:

It’s great to be back in Roshar and Brandon Sanderson has done an amazing job setting up the 5th book of the Stormlight Archives. I can’t wait to finish this book after getting to read the extended excerpt.

I’m very excited to see what happens with Kaladin and Szeth in their journey to Shinovar. Also Shallan has been a favorite character of mine and I can’t wait to read more about what she is up to. And last but not least Dalinar has his contest in 10 days and I can already feel the sanderlanche brewing. You can tell a lot of love has been put into this book and I’m thrilled to see how the first half of this series ends.

Oh this was such a good beginning to the end! So far I am impressed with how things have been becoming linked (I guess that is as much as I can say with no spoilers). Also as a therapist, Kaladin’s new journey makes me very happy! Can’t wait to finish this book!

This extended excerpt shows us Days 1 & 2 (out of 10 days) before the ultimate battle of champions for the fate of Roshar. It immediately picks up from the conclusion of Rhythm of War, beginning with Gavilar's POV in the Prologue, and shows us the extremely arrogant and megalomaniac side of Gavilar trying to become a Herald, and as well as an uncharacteristically confusing side of the Stormfather. Quite a lot of revelations, yet more questions that I hope to get answers for as the book progresses! In days 1 & 2, we see a lot of preparation, goodbyes, and general foreshadowing. Shallan infiltrates the Ghostbloods, tries to prevent them from following Dalinar into the Spiritual Realm and fails in a spectacular fashion - where they ALL end up in that realm without an anchor to the Physical Realm. Kaladin tries to figure out what he really wants to do with his life (away from the fighting). Kaladin and Szeth travel to Shinovar, and Szeth finally opens up about his past and we get his flashbacks!

This was an amazing and promising start to book five, and I am so excited to continue and find out what happens! Thank you TOR and NetGalley for approving my eARC request!

Masterful work and wonderful tie ins to other Cosmere novels! Brandon Sanderson never fails to keep the reader guessing and in this case dreading the final chapter of the first half of The Stormlight Archives.

This preview was just what I needed to get excited for the full book! You can never go wrong with Brandon Sanderson!

Ahhh I can't believe I got to read the extended excerpt before this book was available to the world. Brandon Sanderson is so good. I am happy and nervous to be back in this world, though. With it being the last book of the first story, ARC, we're going to be in for a wild ride. The characters have come so far since first meeting them in book one; everyone is so well developed, the world-building is still incredible, and the sheer detail that Sanderson puts into his work is unmatched. I think parts one and two set up the story so well and I'm excited to see where it will go from here.

Absolutely incredible. Brandon Sanderson never misses. His characters are compelling and fully fleshed out, his plots are complicated and intriguing, and his writing style is incredible. He truly is a modern fantasy genius.

I love this excerpt! It feels so good to be back in this world and with these characters again. I can’t wait to continue on.

I have been looking forward to this all year and am happy to say that (so far) it does not disappoint! Sanderson is easing us back into this world with some beautiful moments with our favorite characters. I already teared up at least once! There's a lot of Wit, which is fabulous, and some interesting interactions (particularly Kal & Szeth, Lift & Gavinor, Renarin & Rlain). I am once again asking for more Jasnah....will have to keep reading to see if my wish is granted. Even though it is a bit of a slow start (in a good way), the prologue packs a punch and things are picking up steam as we countdown to Dalinar's contest with the new Odium. Can't say much more without giving spoilers, but so far this is shaping up to be a five star read and I'm excited to continue!!
