Rhythm of War: Book Four of the Stormlight Archive

Minor Spoilers Ahead ohh man this books was good i think it finally gave a really good background around Fused and sets up the story nice it has little dalinar and more Navani i am happy Sanderson finally focused on her she is superb character loved the way she works in this 4th book we see little of dalinar,shallan,adolin but still it was great. Finally my boy Kaladin got his piece in this series really happy for him and it really shows how good kaladin was written can't wait for the next entry in the series have to wait for 3 years really worth it. Action in this novel was great. This book focus on Fabrial science some might get bored but it was worth it bcz i finally get to see the explanations about it. AND THAT ENDING WAS TRULY UNEXPECTED and on top of THAT EPILOGUE. Read it without any thought worth it.

Words fall short to completely praise Brandon Sanderson's novels. Pick any of his novels and it is bound to keep you hooked till the end. And "Rhythm of War" too doesn't fail. We see more of Navani and her prowess in this book. Taravangian gets a promotion, well, that's how I like to think, Shallan unveils her veil and rips it apart, Venli gets a family, Kaladin lives up to his oath and the Void Bringers kept their intimidating nature till the end. Overall, a very gripping, nerve wracking plot that will keep you on the edge. The ending will make you want to time travel to the future and read the fifth book.

Book arrived before time. As shown. Packaging was non existent. How can you ship a hard cover book without bubble wrap, in just the plastic bag? Could have been damaged very badly. Especially considering that the dust covers are fairly fragile. Please do better.

So many Fascinating character arcs. So satisfying and filled with crazy moments and ending. Can’t wait for the next one.

Amazing!

Most awaited amazon package. The book looks so good. And coming from Brandon, I know it won't be disappointing. Already apparent from the first 20 pages I read. The simplicity of the language, the subtlety in throwing you off tracks and then surprising you where you least expect, the continuously growing rate of interest, the beautiful world and amazing characters. That's Brandon Sanderson I know. Amazon and team, thank you for delivering this amazing book on time, with good quality and for affordable price.

This series is is a marvelous work. It grips, the plot is complex and epic in its scale and the character building is masterful. One empathises and lives and breathes the complex people the Sanderson has created. Having said that this particular book is probably the weakest among the four others. however, waiting for the fifth and last installment of the series.

Amazing transition of characters, evolving in a world they are discovering. All the twists and turns keep you on your toes, and the mysteries in the pages keep you wanting more. Just beyond expectations as is expected.

This was an excellent addition to the Stormlight Archive, and I cannot wait for the next!

If you are into Fantasy books, by default, you should read anything Brandon Sanderson writes. He is by far the most productive fantasy book author I’ve ever known so far and easily the best for me. There is a lot that I can tell you about this book as it is heavy in volume and rich in developments & revelations but let me tell you this; it is another solid addition to the flagship series of Sanderson's with a lot more revelation to the magical powers and elements, and how they work in this world. The logic and the dynamics of powers becoming quite interesting and complex, so much so that I had difficulty following on occasions and had to re-read some sections. Author establishes a connection between the powers in this world and the art, mainly rhythms. As I said, it is very interesting, but I do think it is getting a bit complex. The book answers many unanswered questions related to what might have happened in the past. I found Venli's story line especially very revealing, and it tells you all about how the night of the king Gavilar Kholin’s murder came about. In addition, the history of what happened previously in Roshar and a lot more to some of the mysterious characters and the world itself are revealed. The world building was full on in this book, maybe more so than some of the previous books which was good because it really captivates you more when you realize that there is a lot more to discover after three brick heavy books which are more like two books each themselves. There are little nuggets of knowledge as to Roshar being only one of the planets within the Cosmere where author's all other books and series spreads. I think story lines that happened within the tower were more interesting and captivating compared to the others but overall, I enjoyed every aspect of the book very much. I would still put the first and second books ahead of this one, but it is definitely more enjoyable than the third book. There is a huge emphasis on the mental health of the characters, so much so that I thought author must have either studied the subject deeply or he has some sort of training or consultation. Perhaps he or someone close to him were going through similar life struggles at the time, and it had an impact on him. If you had any mental problems in the past, sadness or trauma, then you can be sure that what some of these characters going through (mainly Shallan and Kaladin over completely separate and unrelated story lines) will resonate with you. To be honest, I found it educating and it might really help you if you can connect with the struggles characters having, especially Kaladin. As always, the book has many twists and turns, some really surprising. Typically, as usual with Sanderson’s books, the tempo of the book increases to the end and there are much more happening through the end after all the plot building in the first 60-70% of the book. I don't know what to feel about the big turn that happened in the book through the end which involved Taravangian but I guess we will see in the book 5! I really liked what happened with the one character we all thought died 😊 It was a really good send off. I love all books Sanderson writes and this was no exception. I think Stormlight Archives series becoming so good that it is on a similar level as Wheel of time (where Sanderson also had written the last 3 books) and I would not be surprised if it surpasses it. Knock! Knock! Amazon, maybe you will do a TV series for this one too!!

Der vierte Band der Reihe führt die komplexe Welt von Roshar auf beeindruckende Weise weiter und bringt die Handlungsstränge der Charaktere auf spannende Weise voran. Besonders fasziniert hat mich die Mischung aus tiefgründiger Charakterentwicklung, epischen Schlachten und überraschenden Wendungen. Die Geschichte ist dicht erzählt und belohnt die intensive Aufmerksamkeit, die man als Leser mitbringen muss. Positiv sind die großartige Weltgestaltung, die vielschichtigen Figuren und die erzählerische Komplexität, die das Lesen zu einem fesselnden Erlebnis machen. Negativ ist, dass die Länge und Detailtiefe für manchen Leser überwältigend sein können und Geduld erfordern. Fazit: Ein Meisterwerk der modernen Fantasy, das Fans der Reihe vollends begeistert – 5 Sterne.

Una delle migliori saghe fantasy di tutti i tempi.
