Perfect for me. I great end to the first arc and I am so sad that I will be waiting years for the next one. Brandon outdid himself and although I don’t think it’s the strongest in the series it’s still a worthy addition.

Such a tantalizing tease for the book! I'm still working through my re-read, but this was just what I needed to stoke my excitement

What can I say about Brando Sando that hasn't already been said? Having read over a dozen of his books at this point, it feels like an understatement to say that the fifth book in the Stormlight Archive was a highly anticipated read—not only does it offer a new chapter to the Cosmere for fans to obsess over, it also conclude the first arc of the Way of Kings saga, which opens the door for a new era. I could not believe that I received early access to this segment—from the first words I was absolutely hooked—but I'm also a little unsure whether I'm supposed to review just this segment or the entire book now that the publication date has passed. Suffice to say, I loved it—the man never misses. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson is a captivating and thought-provoking novella that blends Sanderson's signature world-building with deep philosophical themes. Set within his larger Cosmere universe, the story delves into concepts of power, responsibility, and the search for truth. Sanderson's writing is immersive and detailed, creating a rich narrative that keeps readers engaged while exploring complex characters and their moral dilemmas. It’s an excellent read for fans of Sanderson’s work and those who enjoy character-driven speculative fiction.

This brief sneak peak of the book had me wanting more and got me ready for the books full release. Even within the first hundred pages, I was tearing up and I am not ready for the second arc of the Stormlight series. Brando Sando owns my soul and I will always read anything he publishes!

This was just a sample but I love Brandon Sanderson books and this series is a favorite. Bought the hardcover as soon as it was out

Loved this little snippet of what's to come in Wind and Truth. I am definitely even more excited to read the entire story after that. The Stormlight Archive is a brilliant series and I highly recommend to fellow readers.

Thank you to Tor Publishing and NetGalley for the chance to read and review Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson.

Never read anything by this author until book four came out and now I find my self about 10 books deep in this universe and boy am I not disappointed can’t wait to read more

Thank you to TOR and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was such an incredible book in the Stormlight Archives and I enjoyed every single minute of it. Brandon Sanderson is a master of world building and character development.

This was just so stinking good. This series is everything. The book is almost perfect the audiobook is brilliant. I’ll never stop reading this series. This story was a rollercoaster and I was here for it.

While the premise was nice, the writing was... not what I expected. I wanted more from the characters because I felt that what was on the front cover and the front flap was not what we were given.

Thanks to NetGalley and Tor for an advanced copy!

I have loved the previous books in this series, so I was super excited for this one! And Brandon Sanderson did not disappoint. It was just as great as the previous installments with an epic climax.

It turns out that this was much farther into the series than I realized. I am working on the second book now, and am quickly becoming a Brandon Sanderson fanatic. I apologize for oversetimating my own reading speed. Thank you for the opportunity to read the book regardless. I will not be leaving a star review as that would feel disingenuous.

Yet another great novel from Sanderson that continues his outstanding epic in the Stormlight Archive. The Cosmere is coming together so beautifully.

Brandon Sanderson did it again. As he takes you deep into this amazing world we have all become obsessed with. I'm left needing answers!!! I thought this book would conclude the series but I am left with so many unknowns and wondering if I will wait many more years to get these answers that leave me up at night wondering what is going to happen next?

The book is written very well and the character development is perfect as always! The world building is amazing. The detail he provides allows the reader to really engage and see the characters n the scene.

Oh. My. Stormfather.

The conclusion to this first arc of The Stormlight Archive and Cosmere Phase 1? Absolutely immaculate. I went in with sky-high expectations, and somehow, Sanderson still managed to exceed them. Every moment felt earned, every emotional beat landed perfectly, and the sheer scale of it all was breathtaking.

And let’s talk about the narration—because listening to Michael Kramer and Kate Reading again felt like coming home. Their voices are the Cosmere at this point. If there were a Spotify Wrapped for audiobook narrators, Michael Kramer would be my undisputed #1, and it wouldn't even be close.

This excerpt was just a taste, but if the full book keeps up this energy, we’re in for something legendary.

Ohh my god! How do you leave us with just a part of this master piece. I can’t wait to get the full book in my hands and rot on the couch with that door stopper. Szeth is the featured character I’ve been waiting for an I can wait for more!!

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

At this point, Sanderson could publish his grocery lists, and I would still be tuned in. The Stormlight Archive has been an all-consuming series for me, and ‘Wind and Truth’ is the perfect way to wrap up the first arc.

Dalinar Kholin must fight in a contest of champions against Odium in ten days. The results of this contest will determine the fate of Roshar and the rest of the Cosmere.

Kaladin Stormblessed is on a mission to help Dalinar recruit a Herald for the contest of champions. His companion on the journey is somebody he would have been happy to ignore. Instead, he digs deeper and uses this newfangled thing called therapy to help his traveling companion process their trauma.

Shallan Davar's journey with the elusive Ghostbloods must come to an end. As she tries to prevent Mraize from releasing a dangerous unmade, she gets stuck in a new realm. Will she stop the release of Ba-Ado-Mishram on all of Roshar?

Adolin Kholin must fight to keep contested lands away from Odium's rule after the contest.

Brandon Sanderson does it again. He's created bleak circumstances that seem impossible to beat. I'm so glad I had a chance to listen to the extended excerpt of the audiobook and read the preview chapters so I could blaze through Wind and Truth in no time. But also... what am I supposed to do until the second arc?!
