How to write a review for an excerpt of the final book of one of my favorite fantasy series of all time (The Stormlight Archives), by one of my favorite fantasy authors of all time?? All I can say is that Brandon Sanderson has f***ing done it again and given us a masterpiece. I cannot WAIT to eat up the rest of this book and witness the most epic Sanderlanche of all time that blows all my theories out of the water (AKA a mind-blowing to an amazing series of incredible scope). Release day cannot come soon enough!

Thank you to NetGalley, Brandon Sanderson, and Tor for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own!

Even after reading only the beginning, I see this is a masterpiece. I cannot wait to read the whole book in one day when it is out. Thanks for the opportunity!

How do you start a review for this amazing excerpt, except for with a squeal of excitement for the rest to come.

Wind and Truth continues the journeys and growth of some of my most favorite literary characters. This is book 5 in a very substantial series, so please do not try to read these out of order. You really do need to understand where we have come from in the other books to know what is fully going on in this one.

Dalinar is preparing for a battle against Odium but quickly learns things may be stacked against him as the contract seems to have loopholes in favor of Odium.

Kaladin finds a new purpose in the empire after Dalinar relieves him of duty as the head of the Windrunners and asks him to help others who are finding it difficult to work through their own emotions and minds. Instead of being a doctor of surgery, his role as a therapist grows as he starts to work with Szeth on facing his internal demons and possibly an insane Herald along the way.

Shallan, Jasnah, Adolin, and so many others are also working on their own objectives and they are all incredibly important in their own ways. I don't want to reveal too much about what happens in the first 400 pages, but I will say the action seems to be rolling along at a great pace and I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the book to finish what I expect will be another magnificent installment.

Finally seeing the prologue from Gavilar's POV, everything makes sense. It actually made me grab the first one and reread the scene. 10/10 there. After that, it was a pretty slow start. There are a lot of strings and plots that need to come together so it's understandable that we have to take our time with them. I'm still counting down the days until the book is fully out!

Sanderson has done it again! I can't wait for the rest of the book; this short excerpt was terrific, and now I'm hooked. December can't come fast enough, and I'm beyond excited to see what else happens in his fifth installment.

I received this extended excerpt from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Brandon Sanderson.. what a guy, and what a phenomenal book so far.

I am so excited to see where these characters go as we get to the contest of champions. As always, it's wonderfully well written, the characters are phenomenal, and the plot is plotting. I love it, and I can't wait to read the full book in the next month!

Brandon Sanderson is a crazy good author who is know for his intricate world-building, imaginative magic systems, and prolific output, especially in Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. Mistborn offers a heist-style adventure with an original, metal-based magic system and deep character arcs. The Stormlight Archive takes epic fantasy to new heights, with a vast cast and nuanced themes of morality and redemption. Sanderson’s writing is accessible, his pacing tight, and he blends action with introspection. I can't wait for the entire book!! My friends and I have been reading the books and we can't put them down!!!

This is just mean! How on earth am I suppose to wait till December to read the next 1,000 pages! If the rest of the book is as good as this sample, we are not ready for what lies ahead. Brandon Sanderson rarely misses and this absolutely will not miss. We start off hot and the momentum does not slow down. PLEASE GIMME THE REST!

Brandon Sanderson once again delivers a stunning masterpiece. This preview of Wind and Truth was a captivating read, and I devoured its 332 pages in a single day. The anticipation for the full release is palpable. This series continues to elevate the Stormlight Archive to new heights, surpassing even its previous successes

The storyline, characters, magic system were all fantastic. The writing was captivating and now the anticipation of needing to know how this read ends will be torturous until December. Absolutely loved what I was able to read, felt all of the emotions.

Thank you to Tor, for allowing me to advance read this portion of the book!

Of all the books I’ve read my Brandon Sanderson, this one takes the cake for being the most captivating and exhilarating start to his novels. I am very excited to read the rest of it in December!
