I can't believe I was lucky enough to forget half the twists in the ending before rereading this one. What a great book. It's a slow burn, and there's a lot of different threads, but I'll be damned if I wasn't invested in the characters.

No estoy para nada okay tras terminar esto. Me siento como Kaladin. Definitivamente no okay pero no tan mal como durante... ese capítulo.
Volveré mañana cuando pueda resumir mis sentimientos pero de algo estoy segura. Este libro me dio una catarsis tremenda, no puedo esperar al final y Brandon más te vale dejar que Kaladin sobreviva.

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.
