It’s a more than a thousand page long study of worldbuilding and character creation.
The world is lively and characters are their own people; all done without any sign of lore dumps or sacrificing the story in any way.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though I understand how it can be overwhelming; at times a diagram of character dependencies was needed, especially at the start of Part Two: The Illuminating Storms.
Looking back, not that much has happened in this book, but while reading everything seemed so important. Even the smallest details were significant and that made the journey of discovering Roshar along with the characters so thrilling
Can’t wait for more of the Girlboss Duo
