Requesting Wind and Truth extended excerpt from Macmillan Audio and NetGalley was a huge mistake, lol. Not only did I not get any sleep in the last day (since I started listening yesterday afternoon and went straight through until morning) but now I have to wait until December for the rest of the story! Like all of Sanderson's work the story is an absolute delight and at least from the 20-25% I've had the pleasure of listening to I can easily say longtime fans are going to love it. Kate Reading and Michael Kramer are back as narrators (always love when a series keeps consistent narrators) and as always they do a fantastic job and I know I will need to buy this in both hardcover (need to add it to my collection) and audio form. My anticipation is now through the roof. What a way to end the year!

Thank you to NetGalley, MacMillan Audio, and most especially to the ever-prolific Brandon Sanderson for this eAudioARC of the first 20% of Wind and Truth.
To say my expectations were high would be a gross mischaracterization of how I went into this extended excerpt. At the conclusion of Rhythm of War, Roshar is set up for an showdown between forces, the raw power of which neither side fully comprehends; all while our protagonists are still reeling from the events of the past few days.
With the urgency at hand, would have been easy for Mr. Sanderson to ignore the gravitas of what's come before and jump straight into the breakneck action or to spend so much screen time digesting Rhythm of War as to create a ponderous and dragging narrative. Yet here he threads the needle expertly to not only give readers the opportunity to reconnect with and reestablish ourselves with the characters & the world, but to up the proverbial ante significantly and both fulfill dozens of promises didn't expect to bear fruit until the back half of the series while simultaneously exploding our understanding of the Cosmere and giving us countless new questions to ponder.
I regret only that the excerpt stopped when it did and that now I find myself needing to wait another 45 days before I can continue the Journey.
If you're a fan of the Cosmere, you won't be disappointed!
