A review by rollie
Defiant by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
8.5/10 ♡
FINALLY, after three books of sheer character development, humanity’s defiant stand against extermination was worth the (at times) slog through the middle books and wow, was it glorious. Nearly 130 pages of raw, well-written war. It had everything you'd want, insurmountable odds, grand-sacrifice, complex strategy, unlikely heroes, AND interdimensional slugs. What's not to love? It alternates between different perspectives of various characters in the fight. Initially, this annoyed me incessantly because the main story was REALLY heating up, but having all those different perspectives really made it feel all the more grand, and each one contributed something important.
I loved it and am grateful to have stuck it through to the end. This series almost lost me a couple of times.
