Rhythm of War: The Stormlight Archive Book Four

Amazing copy.Hardback.

There is no doubt Brandon Sanderson is a good writer and his talent will keep people entertained. My issue is that I have read there may be 10 books in the Stormlight Archive series and he's just published the 4th. The mistak is mine, I read somewhere that it was book 4 in the 4 book series and bought the 4th book. It's a very long wait, and would not have bought it since I'm close to 70, I will never read full set. Sometimes it feels like we are meant to be kept engaged for 10 yrs or so, for a "make work" program. Some authors take an extremely long time to get out their next book, in no hurry. It's a kind of arrogance when their followers wait and wait. I know my point is a criticism, but I do not mean it to be. Steven Erikson happens to be my favorite writer, but I was fortunate because when I found his books, they were well along, so I bought the whole lot, feeling good I'd have an excellent time absorbed in reading - not spending yrrs or decades for a word from our sponsor. For me personally, I think asking people waite yrs and yrs is asking a lot.

Llegó sin un rasguño, cinco días antes de lo que Amazon me decíaEs mucho más grande que la versión de bolsilloLibro muy bonito con imágenes a color en las contraportadas

Just a great book overal, especially if you are a fan of the Stormlight Archive.

Je me suis trompe sur le format qui est celui d.un livre de poche. C’est donc ecrit petit et tres serre. J.adore SANDERSON et ce tome ne m.a pas decu. Il conclut magnifiquement la serie.

I have been a fan of Sanderson for over ten years and during that time, I have seen his writing prowess flourish to the point that I have not found another author that compares to this masterpiece.Sanderson does an excellent job in his world building and his characterization is incredible.Since he started writing, though more so shown in Stormlight, it is clear Sanderson has done heavy research into various forms of mental health, sexual identification, race, disabilities and more so that he can create characters that feel more real than ever before.However, it is with that point in mind that I labelled this book/series as heavy. For some, reading into Kaladins severe depression and PTSD, Shallons dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities), Dalinar's alcohol abuse, Teft's drug addiction - to name just a few - might be too much but Sanderson has done a fantastic job so showing how people who live with these ailments go about their lives.Admittedly, I don't think book 4 is the strongest book in the series but that is just my opinion among thousands, I know many other people who have said it is the best one yet, so pinch of salt and all that. The reason for that, I think, almost whole heartedly lies with who the POV's are throughout the book. For me, part 3 was a bit of a chore with Navani and Venli, it was VERY lore/information based and felt it slowed the whole book down though everything you learn during part 3 is important for the grand story and some of the characters I care a little less for had more of the limelight. Not a fault on anyone involved, just the way it was for me.As the running joke stands in his fandom, the Sanderlanche at the end of the book was amazing, awful (in a good way) and killed me. I, as a 26 year old man, cried at the end - the first and only time I've cried at a book (came close with Mistborn era 1 ending though). The build up and pay off had me basically, crying and clapping and I can not wait for the next book.Strongly, strongly recommend reading this series if you are a fan of sci/fi, great characters, interesting worlds or someone who would like to learn how others live their lives in a more detached from real life way.
