Week 49 Review: Wind and Truth

From Goodreads:

The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.

Dalinar Kholin has challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions, and the Knights Radiant and the nations of Roshar have a mere 10 days to prepare for the worst. The fate of the entire world—and the Cosmere at large—hangs in the balance.

My Review:
I absolutely loved reading this book! Rhythm of War was the first Brandon Sanderson book that I waited for, because I read the Cosmere books in the fall that it was released. So the wait for this one was even longer, and worth every second!

Honestly, I was a bit scared going into this book, what with what happened with Odium, and how Hoid's memory was messed with. They're going in with these expectations, but that's not what they're facing, and they didn't know that, and that has had me anxious ever since I read that scene. 

Quite a lot happened in the previous book, with the developments with the sprene, with their knowledge of what happened in the past, and their understanding of the power, not to mention some pretty intense character growth arcs. All of that comes to play, and kept growing, and it was ever so epic!

I wondered just how big a Sanderlanche this was going to have, given that when the world was initially mapped up, this was the end of this series. It's still the end of this story arc, but yeah, events and reveals really built up to this ending, and it was incredible, and it broke me, and I will need 3 to 5 business days to come down from the state that it left me in. 

This was an incredible book, and I can't wait to read more by Brandon Sanderson, whatever comes next!
