Albert Pickles’s Reviews > Oathbringer > Status Update

Finally finished. Holy shit that was long and dragged like hell to the point where I didn’t care anymore. Will write my thoughts more later. Will be a long review

The dawnchants have been translated. Turns out the humans were the voidbringers the whole time. And the parshmen were the true natives to Roshar the whole time. Wow. Actually a good plot twist. Humans accidentally destroyed their original world with surgbinding

Not too much to say. Just the crew escaping through shadesmar.

Taking back all my critiques, the build up is worth it. The seige of Kholinar was brutal and a great read. Kinda understanding Shallan's identity crisis, seems it drove her mad too like me.
Can't believe I doubted Sanderson for a second.

Wow. So Talanan betrayed Dalinar and almost got the best of him. We found out how Dalinar accidentally killed his wife with flames. Brutal section of the book Jesus Christ. Good stuff though. And we found out Talebs backstory “join or die”

Ok I'm back on it. Kaladin joining the local army and even Azure in Kholinar has got me interested again. Always a huge fan of everything involving Kaladin. Azure gave a pretty good speech too about defending your culture being a must.
Loved Dalinar's flashback of making peace with long time rival in the rift with words and not violence, which was a plot twist of itself.
Veil still boring as shit, hate Shallan lmao.

Y'all... I'm STRUGGLING so far. A lot of yapping, no plot going forward, more yapping over nothing. Shallan somehow becoming the most boring character especially when she turns into Veil. A lot of nothing happening, with the final 10 words per chapter being interesting, a hook to bring me back then even more nothing.
723 pages in. When will the plot happen?
