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?!

Sanderson does it again in the next book in the Stormlight Archives series. As someone who has been reading fantasy novels all her life, Sanderson is one of the names often tossed around to both get new readers into fantasy and old ones to stay excited, and this one does just that. The ending for this novel feels complete yet open enough for the next series of his to continue.

This is a preview excerpt for the 5th book of the Stormlight Archive series. It's a highly anticipated sequel that wraps up the first arc. I really enjoyed this excerpt at it recaps the events leading up to this in a way that doesn't overly summarize it-- just enough to jog your memory. It's also mostly character-focused as the events ahead are going to really put everybody through it all, so this opening part is more for joy. I hope the best for the characters and look forward to reading the whole book when I can get to it.

Very grateful for an early snippet of this book. Cannot wait to gobble up the rest of it. This series has had me hooked for the last year and am sad to see it come to a close (for now). Lots of historical backdrop in this one that definitely help understand the world building much better!

I absolutely loved this. Thank you for giving us a little taste! The book as a whole was 10/10. I love how it wrapped up enough of the story to be satisfying but also left enough open that I’m greatly anticipating the next series!

This is Brandon Sanderson there is nothing he can do wrong. This was an amazing end to the first era of this story.

I cried. I laughed out loud. I cried some more. I made a mistake and went running while reading the end. I cried some more.

There were so many moments that felt cinematic and that if I was watching this in a movie theater the whole crowd would have been cheering.

I won’t be posting spoilers but I will say this about the ending: it felt just right. There was nothing shocking about it, but it felt like exactly what had been built up to.

banger of a book (as a whole). this excerpt was a nice little tease for people that read it before the full book came out. (couldn't have been me tho)
