Pros & Cons
Pros
The story continues to be enthralling and entertaining. It also serves as a nice microcosm of the larger story in several ways. Great characters continue to grow and evolve throughout this series.
Brandon sanderson is a great storyteller. The way he crafts worlds and characters, relationships and interactions just keeps you at the edge of your seat.
Cons
You literally have to read a thousand pages of people meandering in the strangely unoriginal vistas, waiting for anything to happen. Here's a filler a laundress is worried about getting a stain out of a garment (several pages drawing that character) t... Read More
You just get lost in the eternal babbling and meaningless twists. Tried twice and could not get more than halfway through the book. There was a similar issue midway through the last book. Wow, a tide commercial only takes 30 seconds to show that.
The self wallowing becomes unbearable when there is no growth of the characters. Raised in privilege and lived like a spoiled royal unkillable *. Nothing is suspenseful or interesting anymore.
Navani is not a good substitute for dalinar. Also shallan is super annoying. Jasnah has to nearly break the fourth wall and voice her disapproval of shallan’s marked regression.
After slogging through a thousand pages of mind-numbing tedium, sanderson throws the reader a bone with a large-scale fight scene in thaylen. This is the worst book i have read from brandon sanderson. While sanderson saved wot, i feel like this book i... Read More

Structure: as with the other books, sanderson offers up multiple povs, with the flashback pov going to dalinar this time around.
You never know where mr sanderson is going with the story and i love it.
But this time, with the world-building and the characters having become familiar, i felt less patient with the incremental build up.
As with the previous two installments, there is a lot of time spent building up to a dramatic confrontation that takes up about... Read More

It suffers from some of the same flaws

The deck was further stacked against the protagonist and there were times when i wasn’t sure how they were going to get out of these difficult situations

I also thought the author made better use of flashbacks in this novel

So i’ve decided there’s so much to cover in brandon sanderson’s oathbringer 1200 pages and there so much i can’ say so as to avoid spoilers that i’m going to eschew the usual seamless essay structure for this review and just go with relating some brief and at times necessarily vague reactions to various aspects

On the other hand as much as i liked the idea of this the execution was more problematic for me with it going on too long and dragging in what felt like an unnecessary love triangle

That said overall it’s a mixed bag
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Oathbringer did lag in places for me and it did feel repetitive in place as it spiraled around some of the same plot direction or themes
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I think it could have dropped some of those 1200 pages maybe 1200 of them
