What an explosive start to the last book of Stormlight's first sequence! Picking up right where Rhythm of War left off, Wind & Truth pits our characters up against their biggest opponents and demands their biggest feats! There's no room for error, no time to spare, and yet, much left to uncover and learn before the biggest of decisions can be made. Having read the first 2 Days of 10, it's already clear to me that this is shaping up to be the most impactful, most Cosmere-Connected, most bombastic book from cover to cover within the whole series. All that awaits is seeing if Sanderson can truly stick the landing. But with this being his magnum opus, and the ending being something Sanderson has mulled over for 10+ years, I don't have many reservations (if any)!

Brandon Sanderson does it again. To no surprise this except had me rushing to make sure my pre order was still set for the tail end of this year. The writing style is in Sanderson’s signature prose and you feel the world come alive with each paragraph. The characters feel real and their troubles and emotions feel palpable. Definitely a book I will read the moment it hits my doorstep!

Bring on the Sanderlanche! So excited for this book. The parts I read were interesting, well written and zipped by. Excited to read more.

I felt rather apprehensive about reading Wind and Truth anger being somewhat disappointed by Rhythm of War, but I was pleasantly surprised. This feels much more thoughtfully composed and laid out in comparison to the previous book.

*I received an ARC of the extended excerpt of Wind and Truth from Tor Books in exchange for a completely truthful review*

WOW. That's all I have to say about this book. Wow, wow, wow, wow! Since this was the extended excerpt and not the whole thing, I'll have to come back in December to finish this review, but if the rest of the book was as good as the first 350ish pages?!?! I'm hooked. I pre-ordered it (which I NEVER do, by the way) IMMEDIATELY after finishing what I had.

If you like anything by Sanderson you'll love this book! He's become the King of fantasy for a REASON.

In classic Sanderson style, Wind and Truth draws the reader in immediately. This extended excerpt is a great appetizer ahead of the main event due in December. 4 Stars.

Wonderful! I devoured this excerpt. I am so excited to read the rest in December and see how the first half of the Stormlight Archive wraps up.

BrandoSando never misses!!! I’ve been dying for the final book of this era and here she is!!! Cannot wait to finish it!

Fantastic. Can't wait for the full book! Mr. Sanderson is making complex plot and magic systems accessible to all readers!

Love Brandon Sanderson and so excited for this full book. I usually don't care for excerpts because it makes me crave the book even more, but I just couldn't help myself!! I needed it!!

Well, I just tortured myself I guess! Because now I'm just hankering even more for the full book! As always, Sanderson is at peak form, proving once again why he's the GOAT of modern fantasy authors! There are so many epic characters with dynamic storylines just waiting to reach what I'm sure will be a monumental conclusion to this part of the Stormlight Archive. It's honestly difficult to come up with a favorite among them all! I guess while I wait I'll just go back and have to re-read the previous books in the series!

Brandon Sanderson is amazing and I am VERY excited to get my grubby little hands on this book, it looks like this is also going to be amazing.

Amazing excerpt, this book is going to do wonders and set the world on FIRE! I'm continually astounded by how Sanderson crafts his worlds.

Brandon Sanderson’s writing is impeccable, every story he’s put out has captured my attention and made me rethink how everything is connected! I’m excited for what the rest of the Cosmere has in store in the future.

This just made me even more excited for the release of Wind And Truth in December! I can’t wait to see what Sanderson has in store but also I’m slightly terrified….

Wind and Truth is spectacular, the pacing, hints and foreshadowing that leads up to this book sets the tone and then Mr Sanderson proceeds to go above and beyond! This extended excerpt is wonderful and answers many questions but in the words of Brandon himself "There is always another secret". 10/10 I recommend this as I will also be reading the rest of it as soon as it comes out!

Ahhhh! I can’t wait for the rest. Wind and Truth is my most anticipated book of the year and this excerpt confirms that it’s going to be the epic ending I’ve been waiting for.

I would like to say something calm and reasonable about this. Like to. BUT, I am a feral mess and just sitting in my room unable to decide on what to do with myself. Entire day has been wasted since I finished this off at 10am and now I'm just making a conspiracy board connecting red strings of causality in my mind about what will happen next.

I should have waited till December because no I have to not spoil anyone.

It is going to be extremely hard to wait for the rest of this book. Sanderson write such subtle metaphors and such deep characters. This is high fantasy, that doesn't feel like high fantasy. He's built a HUGE world, but you still just feel like you're following a day in the life of each character per chapter. Even when you're reading the chapters from godlike beings! Sanderson keeps his fans fed.

332 pages was not enough! I can’t wait for the rest of this title to be out. What a freaking RETURN to the Cosmere. I’ll avoid spoilers in this review but DANG if hearts aren’t gonna break in this one. Thank you to NetGalley and TOR for the extended excerpt. See y’all in December.
