Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, I received it on Friday, started reading it right away, and here it is on Wednesday, a book thoroughly devoured. I switched back and forth from audio to text, but mostly, I just reveled in the text. Sometimes that's all you can do -- as you're torn from Roshar, tumbling through many realms as you desperately try to escape your fate.


Yeah, this was one of those books. Staying up way too late, begrudging any time keeping me away from the book, and getting shocked by reveals, awesome references to other Cosmere events/personages, and, as always, great joy. It is always Journey Before Destination, isn't it? And BS was always great with journey.

And in this case, he absolutely lands this Herald of a book. There is always slow bits, but those bits always have a deeper purpose. The payoff is glorious. I'll just say that.

Am I sad? Of course. Am I freaking out about all those high points and the despair? Of course. But I'm HAPPY. Thus ends the first part of this absolutely enormous series.

And if I feel sad, maybe I'll go back into therapy. Or rather, I'll seek Kaladin's aid. :)



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
