Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson

5/5 ⭐️

Another storming masterpiece by Brando Sando.
Bravo.

I have no words. I’m baffled. I’m in awe. I just love this bloody series so damn much.

What surprised me the most is how much I LOVED Navani in this book. She’s really starting to shine. I liked her before but she wasn’t as developed as she is in ROW. I loved seeing her become the scholar is was always meant to be, and I genuinely loved learning about fabrials and studying spren alongside her. It truly shows the thought and care taken into world building. Yes these learning sessions are long, but they’re never boring. They’re integral to the plot and I find them absolutely fascinating.

I say this every goddamn book but Brando is a world class specialist in characterisation. Every POV character in every book is so interesting and with every interlude, the cosmere expands. I especially love Wit and Chiri-Chiri. Who doesn’t?

There’s so much I love about this book.
The heartbreak some characters go through to the epic battles and the slow politics… everything is seamless. Perfection.

I cannot wait for the next book and I have severe withdrawals symptoms already, so I will most likely start another cosmere novel while I wait.

Brando Sando, you goddamn genius.
