I'm out of words. By far, my favourite cosmere novel atm.
Everything starts coming together. We get a story that is very cosmere aware and are able to dwell a little more on what investiture really is.
Also, reading warbreaker seems more important for Oathbringer than it is to WoR. I'm very surprised on how those two stories are connected. Makes me super excited for a warbreaker sequel which will definitely happen.
Regarding some characters. DALINAR KHOLIN IS MY MOST FAVOURITE CHARACTER EVER. Prior to this book he already was my favourite SA character but now?? His complexity is just out of this world. His character development is just something else.
Kaladin is kaladin. My boy is constantly being traumatized and it's super interesting to see him struggling with depression. His character ( which is already great) has a lot of potential to be even greater with further development. My top 2 SA characters. Speaking a little of Adolin, it's super interesting to see someone who seemed so special in book one be the most "normal" in the current story. With this I mean in terms of power as in book one he was stupid op as a full shardbearer but now when everyone around him is somewhat radiant, he needs to look for other ways to shine. A very well crafted character and someone who I'm eager to learn more about in the future.
Shallan is just.... I don't know. Her multiple personality disorder is super interesting but there is something about her that always makes me somewhat uninterested in her story. Maybe it is just because she is surrounded by two of my favourite characters but still... I have some thinking to do about her.
Finally I'm finding it interesting how much hoid is participating in this story. On mistborn era 1 and warbreker he didn't really participate much but here he's having a huge impact in the overall story. Curious to see where this is going.
This is not really a review.. more of my thoughts after finishing this book.
“The most important step a man can take? It's not the first one, is it? It's the next one. Always the next step..."

The pacing is a little slower then the other two. But I still loved this book. We got more bridge 4 content! I liked how it expanded the world.

Oof, this one slogged a little, but every bit pays off in the last part, all the threads Sanderson pulls together and it's worth it!
It's not my favorite, but it definitely makes me excited for the fourth one!
