The final book of the first half of Stormlight Archive

The world in Stormlight Archive is an interesting one and we really start to see the larger Cosmere in this book. The world building is expanded nicely with both new things and also getting an history lessons of important events on Roshar. Along with the world building is the character development really good and feels natural. And I really enjoyed the story arc with Kaladin and Szeth, to bee fair Kaladin is probably my favorite character in this series. Alodin is another character that I really enjoyed the journey of in this book, with his defense of Azimir, and how that changes him.

This book ends the first story arc of the Stormlight Archive and it manages to tie up quite a few story arches nicely while also setting up quite a few other story lines to be continued in the next arc. I'm really looking forward to see …

Was wirklich wichtig ist

Ja, das Buch hat alles, was für episches Fantasy wichtig ist, aber für mich war das beherrschende Thema, die Frage der einzelnen Charaktere, was ihnen wichtig ist. Teils jede(r) für sich, teils gemeinsam. So ist auch die alles entscheidende Konfrontation am Ende m.E. gar nicht der fürs Genre sonst typische Endkampf. Wobei ich weder habe kommen sehen, wer als Odiums Champion gegen Dalinar antritt, noch wie dieses Aufeinandertreffen ausgeht. Ich fand das Buch super, es fokussierte sehr schön auf die einzelnen Personen. Wer sie sind und wer sie sein wollen.

Journey Before Destination

This is the ending of the first arc of The Stormlight Archive and it is quite an impressive book. It's very long, and the plot does suffer a bit in the middle parts, but the setting and characters are well established so I felt drawn to it all the way. Overall, it was a great book and a fitting conclusion to this arc. I really want to know what happens next, but suspect it may be several years before we return to Roshar.
