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.

This one took me a while to complete, but it was entirely worth it. While the pacing was a little slower than previous books in the series, especially in the beginning, the end 150 pages is packed with so many revelations and emotional surprises. It took me a long time to enjoy the Venli POV's but at the end, I definitely was reading them with as much interest as the other sections. I particularly enjoyed the character development of Kaladin and Shallan and their struggles at balancing who they are perceived as with the trauma that they are dealing with. In addition, I loved the added depth we got of Adolin's character, even if that storyline kind of was dropped toward the end of the book--here's hoping it will be picked up in the next one!

I wish I could give this two ratings for different parts of the book. I was so incensed by the first third because it was entirely characters saying things like "oh yeah, this happened and this happened, remember when this happened?" as a way of filling in the (still unknown) length of time between Dawnshard/Oathbringer and Rhythm of War. If you ever want a prime example of "tell, don't show," just read that portion. The pacing was off in this book as well compared to others -

there was a huge climax around the middle of the book then it slowed down dramatically until the rush of action between 70-80% of the way through. After that was done, we had another 15% or so of exposition and recovery, then your normal cliffhanger ending. It just felt very dissatisfying to me, as though it wasn't planned out well and he had to scramble to make sure everything was included at the end. Also, to be perfectly blunt, I hated that Jasnah and Wit are a ThingTM.

I did appreciate the bucking of gender norms we saw in this novel compared to others,

though there should have been far more consequence than there was. The political intrigue side of things seems to have completely gone to the wayside.
