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.

Very good end of the first half

Even though for me is not as good as The Rythm of War, I loved every bit of it and I think is a more than good ending for this half, opening new doors to what is to come, but also closing others. The performance sometimes is not my cup of tea but Is decent. I am used to the Spanish which is insanely good, but doesnt come out for 4 months at least…

Journey before Destination.

An epic and satisfying conclusion to the first arc of the Stormlight archive. Immense and brilliant. Must read (listen).

Not exactly disappointed, but not fully satisfied

First I want to emphasise that this is a good book. Twists and turns are guaranteed Sanderson quality. Sadly though, this book is my least favourite Stormlight Archive. It would have benefited from much sterner editing.

I felt like characters didn't stay true to themselves and behaved very similar to each other. F. E. I was annoyed by excessive levity performed by usually stern people. One big letdown was Yasnah, who had been one of my favourite characters, but who wasn't herself in the entire book.

That being said, the ending was great and I'm looking forward to reading the next act. I really want to know what happens to those people.

Great ending, but....

As always, I love the comfortable voices of these audiobook readers, relaxing but still enticing, with a story that builds and draws you in. I am just sad there is no accompanying PDF to show off the artwork like Rhythm of War had.
