Absolutely Loved it. I can't believe how much fun it was to read this book. The fights were awesome. The conversations were awesome. The time spent with each and every character was awesome. Best of all was Kaladin. He was just perfect in every way. The way he protected bridge 4. I have become bridge 4 for life.

Let me start with each character and their impression on me.

Kaladin - He is just Kaladin. The pessimistic awesome leader who will pull through no matter what. His pessimisim is a lot higher than what I would appreciate but other than that I love everything about him. He is my ideal person for sure.

Shallan - She is gonna be my favourite character for sure because she will be the person giving me the most lore on the world and the things happening on it. The ending completely changed how i was gonna view her. Brandon has played with my perception of her a lot. In the end I find myself excited to read more about her.

Dalinar - Dalinar has been another awesome character. He has shown the real struggles of being a father and a leader while suffering from self doubt. In the end when he finally realised how everything fitted in. He became one of the most interesting protagonist I have seen. Its gonna be fun to know how he will unite the world against the true desolation.

All in all this book was an absolute gem. There is no way someone can read this and not continue the series. The only thing bad I can think about this book is it is a very big introduction. There is no set goal like there is in most fantasy novels. You don't know anything about what is going on. And as the story progresses you figure out who the main protagonists are and how they will interact with each other. The final part where Dalinar and Kaladin finally meet was one of the most gratifying moments ever. Being able to see the most honorable lighteye shatter kaladins expectations was fun. Along with the fights oh the fights. Kaladin Stromblessed is a hero among heros. When he fought, he fought like a Strom. His fights after seeing him struggle for so long was so much fun. It felt very very good to read. Anyways this rant aside. I will recommend this to anyone who has an itch to read an epic journey with a world so very detailed. I am sure as I read on I will only become more and more invested in this series. But I wouldn't recommend this book alone. This book has no conclusion as normal books do. For now I feel like this whole series won't be 10 seprate books but a singular big book. There is no summary that can describe this book other than as an introduction to the world of Roshar.

Anyways thats all,
Life before Death. Strength before Weakness. Journey before Destination.
Bridge 4 for life.
