Like the books (full sized novels, not the novellas) before it, we dove into the backstory of a character: Venli. We also were transported into Shadesmar, visiting the Honorspren capital, which was really cool.
One thing I love about this series is that it goes into hard topics, such as abuse, addiction, and suicide, and shows people overcoming those trials.
And the climax… oh… it was amazing. I’m not entirely sure whether I liked this book’s climax better, or Oathbringer’s better. I think I’m not sure because they’re great in different ways. I’ll be honest, I actually cried. Not because I was sad, though that almost happened too, but because there is such a touching scene. And then Kaladin gets some major character development! Yay! *dances around throwing confetti* Yes, he’s my favorite character.
But oh ho ho. You thought I was done. NOPE! The climax was crazy, but just WAIT until the epilogue…
And then the book ends. Super great though! I LOVED it! Excitedly waiting for book 5. :)
