This was an interesting read for sure but did not hold my attention the same way as the first three. But i will say the closer and deeper dive into the cosmere’s world building  science and Sprens is interesting. And I’m looking forward to the next book in the series to push us and prepare us an audience for the next cycle in the series.

Not as fluid as the previous 3 books. It felt like

the idea of the cosmere was created during this book so all the context around it had to be added in. At times it was too much and either broke the flow of the book or made it feel like a filler for the next novel in the series.

I hugely enjoyed this 4th installment of the Stormlight Archive. The plot had me gripped from start to finish and with

the occupation of the tower

it truly felt like nobody had plot armour.

Navani's discovery of anti Voidlight, leading to the reverse engineering of anti Stormlight

has really raised the stakes in the struggle for power between the Radiants and the Singers.

Adolin's trial

as a B plot was good, but I would have preferred the consequences of the ending be a little more fleshed out - perhaps we will see this in book 5.

Oh Kaladin, just when we thought you couldn't be put through any more, you are. He really is the epitome of human resilience and spirit of will.

I thought the pacing throughout was good despite the book being around 1000 pages.

Eagerly awaiting the 5th installment in December!

Rhythm of War was perfectly done in what it was trying to accomplish. It was a lot slower action wise when compared to WoR and even OathBringer but at this point in the story, I was sooo incredibly invested in the characters and what was happening to them that the lack of action did not bother me at all. Not to say, it did not have any action at all with the final sanderlanche being mind-blowing as usual. Also, I think this book had the first death in the entire series so far and I still haven't gotten over it as yet. FUCK MOASH. But, all in all, I think this has to be one of my favorite books in the series simply because of Sanderson's character work so far.
