Rhythm of War Part One by Brandon Sanderson
4.5
I am enjoying this more than *Oathbringer*. However, it's not perfect by any means. The pacing issues still persist, and some of the beloved characters, like Dalinar, are missing from the book. Shallan remains as frustrating as she was in the last book, and Kaladin is just as melancholic as ever. Brandon chose to focus on world-building over plot and character development. Most of Part 2 of the book felt too sluggish. I really don't enjoy reading about the Cognitive Realm since it feels like readinh Alice in Wonderland remake.
That being said, I love the Cosmere and the intricate world Brandon has created. The last interlude featuring Taravangian left me stunned. His cunning and unpredictable nature make him one of the most intriguing characters. I can't wait to dive into book 2 now. I'm so curious about what that sneaky snake Taravangian is planning next.
Additionally, the way Sanderson weaves different storylines and characters together is truly masterful. Despite the pacing issues, the depth of the world and the complexity of the magic systems keep me hooked. The political intrigue and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters add layers of richness to the narrative.
And Let me tell you the the hints and connections to other books Brandon has left for us to discover in this book are humongous. It's like a treasure hunt, finding those little Easter eggs that tie everything together. The scope of Sanderson's vision is truly impressive, and it makes me excited for what’s to come in future books.
