Watching Dalinar grow from beginning to end would have created a far more complex situation than letting us get to know the man he is before we see the man he was, and that’s something some authors need to consider. I would also argue that the degree to which I was disappointed in Kaladin’s arc was at most equal (if not less than) the degree to which I loved Dalinar’s arc. However, if I were a bug in Sanderson’s ear, I might have asked that he create the circumstances to make it more difficult for a Windrunner. Now that’s awesome in the effort Sanderson obviously put forth to treat the condition with dignity, and I appreciate that. I personally feel it was accurately conveyed, but only to the degree I mentioned above. I wish it was conveyed better, and I wish there was more effort to address Kaladin’s abilities, which make it much harder for a casual reader to buy off on because it can be pretty hard to understand what Kaladin was actually going through.
I feel that this conversation is debatable. That’s an interesting study in and of itself. If you understand that problem, then the debate is how it was conveyed, and while I do understand the condition to a degree, I think the problem is how the condition was conveyed depends how familiar one is with the actual condition. This relies on something I can appreciate in that it relies on an understanding of PTSD and how Mr.
I think what I come away with most is that if you are (or possibly were before this book) a fan of Kaladin’s this book might have rubbed you the wrong way. What I remember is this is the book that (for me) confirms that Dalinar’s arc is one of the better arcs in fantasy fiction.
I don’t remember what I focused on for the second review or even The Thrill, which was sort of a cheat in my opinion. I remember having an oddly polarizing set of emotions for Oathbringer, and this time going through reminded me of some of that, but I didn’t feel it as intently as I did the first time through. If you’re looking for my typical review format, you can do that in my original review right here.Īs for these subsequent reviews, I try to focus on whatever drew my attention.
