I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The Stormlight Archives are my favorite of Brandon Sanderson's works. Re-reading the first three books and the novellas in the latter half of 2020 and then picking up RoW now, although I have some regrets (CLIFFHANGER!!!) really allowed me to see BSands' progression as an author. The CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. The MENTAL ILLNESS REP. The (improving) DISABILITY REP (we still have some work to do here). The COSMERE TIE-INS. I weep. And while this book was so very, very long, I did not begrudge him one single line. Especially those last 100 pages. Phew. I need a nap. 1 million points for Gryffinpuff.
