The world gets SO much bigger and we meet new characters (some a little recognisable), new cities, and new… places.
I don’t want to turn you away from it though! Despite the mishmash, we see the characters develop and grow, alone and together. Oathbringer took me almost exactly six months. The first two books took me about a week each to finish. There’s political intrigue, travelogue, fantasy war… Dalinar’s story was good, don’t get me wrong, but the book just sagged a bit in the middle. Oathbringer is more of a mishmash of things. Words of Radiance was very political (which Sanderson also did well with The Well of Ascension), and even though I felt like Shallan had a bit of a weak story, I did realise by the end that I was wrong, as everything fell into place. With a character like that, in a fast-paced situation like that, Sanderson couldn’t go wrong! The Way of Kings is an underdog story, with Kaladin leading the charge. But, as to why it’s not as good as the other two… I think I know why (still without spoilers!). The problem here is, that Oathbringer is better than most fantasy books! Yes, there were a few things I mentioned in my reviews, but nothing that could take away how wonderful it was to read those books by Brandon Sanderson. I rated The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance 5/5. It’s so hard to review epic fantasy books like Oathbringer, especially when they’re not the first in the series, but I’ll try! My Rating: 4/5 Oathbringer Book Review – Spoiler Free
