I got an early Christmas present. My favorite book series released boom five this month and I got gifted the hard back book early. I’m super excited about it. I was not planning on buying until I had finished re reading the first 4 books. I just finished number 2.
Take a look at these rating on good reads already.
It’s hard to find books with that many ratings and reviews at 4.7 stars. Sanderson sure has a loyal fan base. He almost always delivers amazing books and he out paces most authors 10 to 1 in the amount he gets done each year. I think that helps his popularity a lot.
Very few authors release more than 1 book a year. He always does. Unfortunately the stormlight archive series is a book about every 2-3 years it seems. He just has so many series going at the same time.
Here is a description about this current book from good reads.
The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the
#1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive-the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece that has sold more than 10 million copies, from acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray. Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide- Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons... and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar. At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.
Any other fans of Sanderson on hive? I know I’ve spoken with a few. Anyone start book 5 yet.
