There’s always something philosophical and positive to learn and apply in our real-life situations from Sanderson’s books, and that remained true here, maybe even stronger than ever. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and makes me happy to read his books. Yet, despite how dark the story gets, Sanderson reminds us that hope will always be there, and it is a theme that I will always appreciate. In my opinion, out of every book that Sanderson has written so far, Oathbringer is the darkest in terms of tone. Whether it’s a topic involving religion, oppression, camaraderie, or love, any book he writes will always feature one theme that is expressed articulately, and that is hope. There’s always something in Sanderson’s story that resonates with me. I really, really like this book.” –Brandon Sanderson “This book, the third in the Stormlight Archive, is the most intimate, most tightly woven, and most eclectic book I’ve ever written-all wrapped up into one… I like this book.

Despite my irrational expectations, I’m gratified to say that Sanderson managed to meet my expectations because Oathbringer ended up being another masterwork installment in The Stormlight Archive series. Because of this my expectations were Skybreaking high especially after reading one of my favorite books of all time: Words of Radiance. Oathbringer is a different experience in terms of environment and surrounding hype this time I’m actually in the midst of all the hype, praises, and excitement everywhere. I had heard a lot of fantastic things about this series the first time I went through The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance last year, but I read through them many years after their original release dates.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that my expectations regarding Oathbringer were extremely hard to contain. Well, justice is dead but I’ll see what I can do. My review probably won’t be able to do this book justice.
