Lady Gaga voice: "Talented brilliant incredible amazing show-stopping spectacular never-the-same totally unique completely-never-been-done-before..."
This fantasy book GOT me into fantasy. Which is kinda wild, because seriously, it's BEHEMOTH of a read, clocking in at over 1000 pages and 45 hours of audiobook time. But the world-building is absolutely impeccable, and the characters are so compelling. This book is one of the few I've ever read to actually make me cry at the end.
This was my second time reading through this novel and every page was just as breathtaking as the last. I think the Stormlight Archive series has really incredible re-read value, because Sanderson includes so much foreshadowing. Still, I wish I could relive the first time I experienced this story.
Cannot recommend this book enough. It changed my life and hopefully it changes yours too!
