About this listen

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

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

audiobook quality has dibbed

the story is as always brilliant, but I must point out that the audio sound quality has dibbed particularly during chapters 68 to 70, where the artists volume dips at the end of each sentencez as if they are moving away from the microphone, or quoting at the end of sentences. it should really be looked at.

Incredible

What a book. Sanderson has created something so special that I fear he’s ruined other series for me. Oh well, I can always reread this one. Gladly.

Be prepared for the Journey

It's a long read, so patience is required, so basically immerse yourself in the story.

Great Book, just a tad too long

Great as always from BrandoSando, and great performances by the narrators. The only issue I found is that it just went on for a little too long found myself switching off at some points as the detail was just a little too much and not needed in my eyes, maybe editors could of reined it in a little. but over all fantastic and love his work!

A perfect set up to the following arc in the Cosmere

A satisfying, emotional and enjoyable conclusion to the first arc of the Stormlight Archive. This has always been a must read series for me and always will be.

Perfection

amazing end to this era of Stormlight Archive, the story is delivered in a really interesting way. Sanderson has outdone himself with his portrayal of truly interesting and complex characters, going to take some time to recover from this one

Hyvä

The twist at the end is amazing. Ingredible writing ones again form Brandon. The book might be danuting to start as is the whole series but it is worth it and more. You should absolutely read this and more from Brandon. I love that this is so grand

spoiler alert:

The only thing i didn't like was how the gohst bloods where written and how they had only one serious twist.
