Stormlight archive 35/19/2023 I am in the headspace now, however, that I find myself completely trusting Sanderson with the scale of and the journey presented here. A lot happens throughout these pages and if I was being overly critical perhaps the book could have been cut down and streamlined. Oathbringer is one of the longest novels that I have ever read, clocking in at 1227-pages. I saw depth, layers and details that I may have missed, misunderstood or not appreciated in my first read, as I read this novel at least a year after I completed Words of Radiance. I enjoyed Oathbringer much more on my re-read and believe this was because all of the plots, intricacies, characters and their ideals and motives were fresh in my mind. I still believe these statements to a degree but with how much better The Stormlight Archive is that most contemporary fantasy, my initial rating was extremely harsh. When I first read Oathbringer I only rated it as 3-stars stating that some parts dragged, especially in Dalinar’s flashback sections, and that it wasn’t as gripping and unputdownable as Words of Radiance.
