I loved this book! It made my heart ache and I was sobbing once it was over. Very well written with a beautiful set of complex characters. I do recommend this book for fans of fantasy with high stakes and world ending topics.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the ending made me so sad and I’m a baby

Ist der Kerl eigentlich in der Lage eine schlechte Geschichte zu schreiben?
Ich mein was zum „Ruin“ hab ich hier gelesen. Wenn ich könnte ich würde mehr als 5 Sterne geben.
Das Buch führt die Tradition weiter. Es ist eine völlig neue Geschichte die erzählt wird. Dazu wird aber nicht absurd irgendwas Neues aus dem Ärmel geschüttelt, sondern er nimmt die Fäden die schon da sind und entwickelt sie konsequent zu Ende. Langsam werd ich müde das zu sagen, aber auch hier war nichts vorhersehbar oder auch nur im entferntesten langweilig. Um mich nicht ständig zu wiederholen geh ich mal direkt auf das Ende ein. Ein Plottwist jagt den nächsten und Sanderson führt mir mal wieder vor Augen wie berechenbar ich selber bin, das ich all die Anspielungen und Vorrausdeutungen der letzten zwei Bücher nicht gesehen habe und nun hier völlig sprachlos vor dieser Auflösung stehe.
Also sag mir bitte Sanderson wie soll ich jetzt mit dieser Leere in mir umgehen, da ich weiß das dieser Epos zu Ende ist.
