Pros

The characters are terrific, the world-building amazing, the action exciting. The character development as each of them struggles to overcome their own fears and failures is inspiring. His excellent prose takes one through the entire spectrum of emoti... Read More

This book is a payout on the investment of the prior 3 books and reveals that no detail no character in the first 3 books was wasted. There's a lot of momentum built up from the previous 3 sa books that precede it. The story develops slowly, but is ne... Read More

Cons

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

The cosmere is well-made, the creatures and people intriguing and plausible.

The series continues to build and seems to have more everything.

There are more radiants, powers, heralds, cosmere references, war, spren, mental health, and character development.
