I’m doing a reread of this series for a few reasons:
- The series is long, and I wanted to do a recap before reading Wind and Truth (which comes out December, 2024.
- The only highlights I was able to recover from my first read through were from Dawnshard and Rhythm of War. I wasn’t able to recover much from The Way of Kings.
- The series is just so damn good.
This series is a masterpiece so far. Definitely the best fantasy series going at the moment. Every book is a 5/5 for me (though I haven’t read Wind and Truth yet).
While every book is quite long, it’s very much worth it. I’d highly recommend giving it a go

Kaladin turned back and swept his arm before him, summoning Syl. A bright, dew-covered Shardblade formed from mist into his hand.

The one who paid for the actions of the youth. Then finally, the fourth man: most false of them all. The man who had given up his memories so he could pretend to be something better.

Kaladin frowned as Drehy returned to the fire and picked up one of the figures there. A child? In rags. Yes, a frightened little boy, maybe three or four years old, lips chapped, eyes haunted. Elhokar’s son. “We protect those,” Drehy said, “who cannot protect themselves.”

“Kharbranth,” Odium said. “The city itself, and any humans who have been born into it, along with their spouses. This is whom I will spare. Do you agree to this?” “Should we write … a contract?”

“Kaladin said they weren’t here to destroy,” Adolin said, “but to occupy.” “They want their world back,” Shallan said, pushing against him, wanting to feel his body against hers. “Could we … just let them have what they’ve taken?” “No,” Dalinar said. “So long as Odium leads the enemy, they will try to sweep us off this land, and make the world so it has no need of another Desolation. Because we’ll be gone.”

“Vyre,” she said. “Join us in the sky. You have a work.” She and the others Lashed themselves upward. Join us in the sky. The Honorblades, Graves had told him, gave their powers to any who held them.
