bookshelves: fantasy, novels, science-fiction
Absorbing story that reveals some of the far future of one of the characters in Stormlight Archive.

I understood what Sanderson was trying to do with the pacing and it matched the theme of "always running" well, but a breakneck pace isn't my favorite style. He was able to fit in a good amount of character development for the way the story went, specifically with Nomad and Elegy. The main villain was a little more cookie-cutter than Sanderson's usual ones, though, and we didn't really learn as much about some of the other protagonists (i.e. Rebeke had some good character development, but we didn't learn much about her background, and we also didn't get much of a sense of personality from other minor characters like Zeal).

The tie-in to Threnody was pretty awesome--I haven't read the story from that planet yet that's in Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection, so reading this as my first glimpse of the Threnodites was pretty cool.

I would really love to know how *ahem*Nomad*ahem* became both a Windrunner and a Skybreaker and how he walked away from his oaths. Hoping Wind and Truth may reveal some of that. I've pre-ordered it, so we'll see! ]]> Review6673934952 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 20:55:02 -0700 /review/show/6673934952 Heather gave 5 stars to Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive, #4) by Brandon Sanderson
