A digital illustration of Hoid and Rysn locked in a struggle to prevent their Dawnshards from annihilating them. Rysn is in the foreground, having fallen from her wheelchair, hands raised in a protective or warding gesture, face fully looking away from Hoid's glowing figure - who is standing a little ways off, wind wildly blowing his hair and cape, his eyes glowing, his hands forming a gesture of power. Magic goes wild throughout the entire image - chromatic abberations, lens flares, halos, explosions of color, ribbons of light, afterimages echoing an unseen motion - as the powers inside these two attempt to pull them closer together. The Urithiru stone room is empty, save for the two humans, Rysn's fallen wheelchair, and Chiri-Chiri perched on her shoulders and back, looking protective and alarmed.

I regret to inform that he continued to use “logic” and philosophical “entrapments” to force the plot where he wanted it to go, which felt counter to where he telegraphed it for… 4 1000+ page books.

#WindAndTruthSpoilers for shock. Of course it can be extrapolated that this is all here and has proper seeding but 90% of that seeding only exists from the last 5% of book 4 and book 5. This takes me back to why wasn't a significant portion of this book covered in revelatory pieces from books 1 - 4?

#WindAndTruthSpoilers Some of this is down to book 4 and 5 essentially being the series' "The Empire Strikes Back," However it really felt just as the readers were finally uncovering the depths of Roshar, it's history and systems, they are yanked away from us in a manner that played more... 5/

#WindAndTruthSpoilers It is a frustrating book of some of the highest highs but also lowest lows, and I don't mean that in a strict narrative or character arc sense. This is easily the messiest book of TSA. It was still good, but less so than the first 4 books. 4/

#WindAndTruthSpoilers At 1344 pages the book also feels over long, over stuffed, and bound to a 10 day structure that bogs the pacing down and makes some of what the reader experiences feel "Why is this happening now when it could have happened 2 or even 3 books ago?" 3/

#WindAndTruthSpoilers Especially from Mr. "Set-up-&-Payoff" himself. There were multiple moments that felt as if he pulled wool from the reader's eyes which is uncharacteristic and bad form from him, IMO. But there were many properly earned moments as well that paid off the decade long setups. 2/

The cover to Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth, the fifth book of The Stormlight Archive. The cover by Michael Whelan, features Dalin Kholin, in his Kholin blue uniform, atop the tower of Urithiru and admist the growing Everstorm as he prepares for his honor bound contest of champions with the shard of Odium.

#WindAndTruthSpoilers I finished Wind and Truth today. The Stormlight Archive is the only series of Brandon's that I have much interest in and this book continues to leave me cautiously interested. There were a few surprises in here, not all of them good or executed well. 1/

#StormlightSpoilers #WindAndTruthSpoilers

Just got say the section in Thaylenah with Jasnah and Odium sucks. Sanderson is awful at logic & philosophy making his facsimile of a debate miserable.

Szeth is doing his math homework, and getting to DIVISION!

#spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruthSpoilers #WindAndTruth

A digital illustration of Szeth using Division during his fight against the stone shaman Rit. Szeth is portrayed in his iconic white outfit, emerging explosively from a stone pillar. The illustration captures him mid-leap, Shardblade in hand, a trail of sparks, dust, and flame following his emergence from the stone, where a spiderweb of smoldering cracks outlines the remains of his rocky prison. Other stone pillars crowd the giant monastery hall at odd angles, all illuminated by the large windows in the distant background.

A digital illustration of Mishram, sitting on the ground and cradling a dying singer. Mishram looks a lot like a female singer with deep violet, nearly black, skin, streaked with red and white patterns. Jagged red carapace decorates her shoulders and forearms like armor, while spikes of it frame a crown around her head. Her long and dark hair waves in the wind, turning into smoke. Cradled in her arms is the slumped body of an armored singer, white outfit soaked in blood. Mishram holds one of their hands, and magic like violet flame engulfs both of their hands. The entire scene takes place on an empty battlefield, broken weapons and patches of grass littering the background, blood and fearspren crowding the foreground. The skies are red with the last rays of the setting sun.

A digital illustration of Gallant galloping through the Shadesmar skies with a herd of musicspren. Gallant is a powerfully built black Ryshadium. His saddle is embroidered with the Kholin glyphs, and a pair of swords attached to the saddle help convey that Ryshadium are larger than regular horses. Despite his massive bulk and military equipment, Gallant’s expression is almost smug. Surrounding him are several musicspren - horse-like spren, with ephemeral and ethereal bodies and elongated, slender limbs, sharper and smoother than what a real horse might have. Far below them is the Shadesmar ocean of beads, and in the far distance is this Realm’s cold sun.

A digital illustration of Adolin battling the thunderclasts in Azimir. The image is composed dynamically, capturing Adolin, in his blue Shardplate cracked all over, mid-flight as he descends upon the thunderclast below, massive metal chain wrapped around his waist, its hooked end held in one hand. The thunderclast, a monster of jagged rocky spikes, basial face, and red light glowing from inside its skull, is looking up at Adolin's flying form. In the distance, many of the bronze-topped buildings of the city of Azimir have either been reduced to rubble or are actively burning, filling the air with dust, and ash, and smoke.

#spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruthSpoilers #WindAndTruth

A digital illustration of Vyre. The portrait depicts mostly just his head, but the collar of a black uniform can be seen too. Most prominent in the image are the violet crystals that have replaced his eyes, and the crystals jutting out from his temple and the side of his head, through his short black hair, loosely resembling a crown. Vyre's expression is neutral and emotionless.

A digital illustration of Rushu observing some flamespren being playful. Rushu, dressed in the simple brown and beige robes of an ardent, is sitting behind a stone tabletop, head resting on their arm, open book in front of them, with a content look on their face. In front of them, on the tabletop are a few flamespren, looking like tiny humans made of fire. Two of them are playfully chasing each other, while the third one is simply sitting on the stone and watching them. The rest of the tabletop is occupied by a small metal oven, a large gem encased by a metal cage, and some books. The entire scene takes place in what looks like a study with an open window and a view to a sunny outside, full of more books.

Sigzil renouncing his oath is the type of cool yet tragic win I needed after that Thaylenah situation went so badly

#WindAndTruthSpoilers
Navani pulling herself and Gav out of the Spiritual Realm, that's my girl right there. She's so cool

#WindAndTruthSpoilers
I don't know if it is just me not remembering the other ones well but this book does feel very unsubtle with its messages in a way the others weren't. I am loving the Adolin segments though, he's the best

#WindAndTruthSpoilers
Disaster gay Renarin, love that for him lol

#WindAndTruthSpoilers
So I understand what Sanderson was trying to do with the PoV system, but I feel it would have worked better if the frantic location jumping happened in the second half, as things ramp up. Early on it's too uneven, nothing gets set (on page 452 rn)

#WindAndTruthSpoilers
Vivenna mention! I miss my girl a lot
