I just finished this book and I‘m not okay lol. Teft and Robonial‘s death hit me hard but it was beautiful. Navani bonding to The Sibling and Dalinar‘s deal with Odium was shocking and I loved every minute. I loved the way Kaladin helped those effected by depression and PTSD. And Wit‘s epilogues are always amazing! All around fabulous. Can‘t wait for the next book! (I listen to audio, so correction‘s on spelling of names would be appreciated!)

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The story is interesting from a societal or psychological or maybe even anthropological view point. I was not a fan of the main character or his viewpoint on the people around him, however, experiencing the end of civilization as he knew it was intriguing. Making connections from the book to today‘s goings on, was thought provoking, and while I will not read it again, it makes for a fun book club read.

This series has been my life since June of this year.(Yes I know, I‘m late to the party.) What a crazy, exhilarating, emotional ride. Not only is writing phenomenal, the emotions Sanderson can pull from the reader is astounding. “The most important step a person can take is always the next one.” Is it November yet?

Nelnjali I'm so happy you enjoyed them! And yes, is it November yet? 4y

With this passage (starting with “as for man...”) I am strongly reminded of the state of the world. I would also like to say, zombies? Can there be zombies? In the book at least?

Nelnjali Yeah, I was a little chilled by parts of this due to the state of the world right now. It is a timely read.

Estrblmkr It‘s also fascinating. Written in 1949, the Spanish Flu epidemic was just over 30 years ago and this tale is about a post-apocalyptic world where a virus wipes out the planet. Everyone who read this then, had literally experienced something like this. And to have it happen again, with a release of the book not that long ago... *shudders* 4y

Nelnjali @Estrblmkr Oh yeah, that is quite fascinating. I hadn't actually thought about the fact that survivors of the Spanish Flu would have been reading this. Wow... One of the things I actually love is the way fear and discomfort is created in this book. Can you tell I'm amped to talk about it? lol 4y

Estrblmkr @Nelnjali Yes, I can tell. I‘m not very far into it, but it‘s already created an interesting atmosphere. :D 4y

Rain storm and reading: the perfect way to start the day.

Nelnjali Hope you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to talking about it tomorrow! 4y

Estrblmkr I‘m waiting for the zombies 😆 4y

Nelnjali @Estrblmkr Lol. I get that. Now you know why I got creeped out by the number 19! 4y

Estrblmkr @Nelnjali You know always I‘m down for zombies lol. 4y
