The Knights Radiant must stand again.

The ancient oaths have at last been spoken; the spren return. Men seek what was lost; I fear the quest will destroy them.

It is the nature of the magic. A broken soul has cracks into which something else can be fit. Surgebindings, the power of creation themselves; they can brace a broken soul, but they can also widen its fissures.

The Windrunner is lost in a shattered land, balanced upon the boundary between vengeance and honor. The Lightweaver, slowly being consumed by her past, searches for the lie she must become. The Bondsmith, born in blood and death, now strives to rebuild what was destroyed. The Explorer, straddling the fates of two peoples, is forced to choose between slow death and a terrible betrayal of all she believes.

It is past time for them to awaken, for the Everstorm looms.

And the Assassin …

Good sequel that addresses the problems of the previous book

5 étoiles

In the previous book, pretty much my only problem was Shallan, and in this book she finally gets the character development she needs to be an interesting character. It continues the themes of morality being sometimes ambiguous and the importance of oaths.

Sanderson is a brilliant author, and I continue to enjoy his works. If you are on edge whether to listen to the audiobook version, I would encourage it. Michael Kramer is an amazing voice actor, and Kate Reading's voice for Pattern is just so cute.
