What is it

Wish this was more popular so I could get more cool art but I’m glad the only thing I could find was this insane (very Malenia looking) fan art of Skuld www.artstation.com/artwork/PX2Z3n

Posted rough thoughts in the quotes. Definitely not without its flaws and some of Sandersons weakest writing at times but he managed to conclude things satisfyingly and hit home on most moments that mattered. I had fun

do worry for the future though, especially seeing how hectic his future release schedule is, I really think some time is needed to work on the flaws here because it feels like an enormous step back. Even more frustrating because you sometimes see the potential, then it’s gone. All in all, I had fun

I think he really hit home with some of the core themes about choice, free will and utilitarianism but fell flat with others.

It’s more of what I expected post OB and RoW, quality varying in some areas but overall more enjoyable. I got what I wanted from this, like I said Sanderson is unparalleled at delivering big moments and finding the right resolutions, I’m happy where things have left off.

His prose has always been where he falls flat the hardest but never something that’s stood out to me but it’s pretty obvious here. Coupled with the mental health theme exploration here being its lowest :/ no subtlety or nuance and no respect for the audience
