Here is a book review for “Wind and Truth” by Brandon Sanderson, the fifth installment in the epic Stormlight Archive series:

Title: An Explosive and Satisfying Climax to the First Arc of the Stormlight Archive

In “Wind and Truth,” Brandon Sanderson delivers a stunning and satisfying conclusion to the first arc of his monumental Stormlight Archive series. This fifth installment picks up immediately after the events of “Rhythm of War,” with the fate of Roshar hanging in the balance as Dalinar Kholin’s contest of champions against the evil god Odium looms on the horizon.

Sanderson’s writing is as masterful as ever, weaving together multiple complex plot threads and character arcs with his signature blend of epic world-building, intricate magic systems, and deep philosophical themes. The pacing is relentless, with each chapter building to a crescendo of action, revelation, and emotional impact. Sanderson’s ability to juggle such a vast cast of characters and make each one feel distinct and compelling is a testament to his skill as a storyteller.

The character development in this book is particularly noteworthy, with each of the main players facing their own unique challenges and inner demons. Kaladin’s struggle with his mental health and his journey to help Szeth cleanse Shinovar is a standout arc, as is Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain’s quest to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram. Dalinar and Navani’s desperate search for an edge against Odium in the Spiritual Realm adds an extra layer of cosmic stakes to the already epic conflict.

One of the strengths of “Wind and Truth” is the way it pays off the seeds planted in earlier books while also setting the stage for the next arc of the series. Sanderson’s mastery of foreshadowing and long-term plotting is on full display here, with revelations and twists that recontextualize earlier events and hint at the even greater challenges to come. The ending, in particular, is a stunning and satisfying climax that will leave readers both thrilled and eager for more.

The audiobook performance by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading is once again outstanding, bringing Sanderson’s vivid world and complex characters to life with skill and nuance. Their narration enhances the already immersive experience of the book, making it a must-listen for fans of the series.

It’s worth noting that “Wind and Truth” is not a standalone novel and requires familiarity with the previous books in the series to fully appreciate. However, for longtime fans of the Stormlight Archive, this book is a triumphant and deeply satisfying conclusion to the first arc of the story.

Overall, “Wind and Truth” is a masterpiece of epic fantasy and a testament to Brandon Sanderson’s skill as a writer. With its stunning world-building, complex characters, and thrilling plot, this book cements the Stormlight Archive’s place as one of the greatest fantasy series of all time. A must-read for fans of the genre and anyone who loves a beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant story.

Rating: 5 / 5 stars

    • Seems to me that “guy” people always want you to know how big their penis is. Gay people existing, however? How dare they!

To me, that’s like me wanting you to see how big my penis is or if I am gay….. except I don’t see how it’s your business like I don’t think you being guy is my business.

    • You have a valid point that all normal, mentally healthy people who weren’t sexually abused as children or watch sick porn agree with but for God’s sake please check your spelling. When you’re on the right side of reality you have to be able to spell GAY properly. We are all totally sick of the degenerate social engineering, sick to damn death of it . We don’t want a single molecule of that trash in our ears, mind, eyes or soul. We have always hated it & always will & we are DONE having their effluent soul destroying trash dripped down into our brains or our children’s brains.

        a) what makes homosexuality wrong in your eyes?
        b) are all historical societal examples of homosexuality just widespread abuse cases in your understanding?

  6. I wasn’t impressed with this book. There was barely any urgency on the pages and too much reliance on the precious visions, which flattened the story’s impact in my view, to an unnatural extent. I’m a Brandon Sanderson book lover since a long time but it looks like he’s relying more and more into the Young Adult themes. Besides, I absolutely despise how Kaladin was basically a side character throughout the whole thing and instead it focused on Szeth. Both of their stories were however concluded well.

    I hope Brandon pens the next saga with more forethought and better penmanship. And I really do wish he doesn’t bungle up Mistborn Era 3.
