This storm is a game changer.Įarly in OATHBRINGER we learn about the Voidbringers and where they come from–as teased in the ending of WORDS OF RADIANCE. The Everstorm is different than the highstorms because it doesn’t recharge the gemstones and also affects any Parshendi it comes in contact with. Fortunately despite its strange design and function, it shelters the refugees from the Everstorm which currently rages across the world, leaving behind it a wake of destruction. While on the surface the structure seems straightforward, there’s more to it as the story unfolds: it was created out of the mountains, even maintaining the striations of the rock, but with no obvious signs of human building methods there are tunnels and vents that they don’t understand, other places where perhaps furniture or columns once existed but no one can guess what they’re for there is a public bath but they can’t figure out how to stream water in and etc. The city of Urithiru takes center stage here, as our heroes spend most of their time in the empty city they discovered in WORDS OF RADIANCE.
Instead, we get to start off with a wedding and a little housecleaning as the Alethi settle into their new digs. The first lead-in chapters attempt to gently set you back into the world, which is gentlemanly of Sanderson, especially considering the cataclysmic events of the final chapters of WORDS OF RADIANCE. Buckle in your seat belts, folks.įor those of you who need a refresher about what came before, check out Tor.com’s “Before Oathbringer” article. It’s big (1233 pages!) and continues the amazing stories from THE WAY OF KINGS and WORDS OF RADIANCE. OATHBRINGER is everything you want it to be.
The eagerly awaited continuation of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series has arrived.
