Oathbringer
By Brandon Sanderson
- Release Date: 2017-11-14
- Genre: Epic Fantasy
Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to Words of Radiance, from epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson at the top of his game.
In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance.
Dalinar Kholin’s Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.
Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar’s blood-soaked past and stand together—and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past—even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.

Reviews
Slow but build beautifully
5By Happy time play timeThis books starts slow but each part build off one another into one of the best climax I’ve readBest of the series so far…
5By JayBee071I initially read some reviews that were not favorable about this book. I must wholeheartedly disagree. This is by far my favorite book of the series so far. Oathbringer brings together the foundations layer in the first two books. The entire story really comes alive. Excellent read.Great
5By LegendWolf09Best series of all timeDnf 47%
1By AlahcsI have come to realize I just hate this author’s books. I really wanted to like this series—I mean, I even forced myself to get to book 3 because reviews kept saying there is pay off. But, WHERE??? Everything I’ve read from this author doesn’t sit right with me. Something feels really off about how he presents stories and characters.Best Stormlight book
5By lordlestibournesWith their whopping page counts, the Stormlight archive books can definitely be intimidating and daunting to read. While I did find myself feeling that prior and during my reading of this book, this book has become one of my favorites. This book made me laugh, cheer, and cry. Dalinar’s character and his story has got to be one of the best journeys in fantasy. I grew to love each and (almost) every character in this series. With each book the world of Roshar gets deeper and deeper and more complex, but it always keeps you interested. Recommend to all fantasy fans.Great read
5By Blaurss45Action packed and awesome lore.Better and Better
5By ImaginaryTigersThis series just keeps picking up steam. As soon as one mystery is cleared another one pops up. The characters remain engaging and interesting. Definitely a landmark in the world of epic fantasy.Boring
4By XX TU M4CHO XXSo much time spent talking about Kaladin just to end up surpassed by other characters I thought he was going to end up being the strongest or something really special, nope. Kinda like what happened with Jon snow from GoT. They talked about his bloodline then at the end he ends up being nothing so why even waste so much time talking about him. The going back in time parts were so boring I almost quit reading the book, instead I just skipped ahead whenever it started talking about the past. Then theres the jumping around between characters every other page, i dont know how I managed to finish the book. The first two books were really good but this one was boring and disappointing i wont be reading the next one, im out.Awesome book.
5By Expert_Square_Dancer:)I loved this book so much! It’s amazing! Totally recommend! I especially love the world building and characters. (Kaladin and Lift are my favorites. 😁)Good, but slow
3By Jimminy SnickettI am love this series and have absolutely devoured every one of the books…until this one. I’m not sure if the setting was the problem, the focus on the ever-indecisive King as the main character, or just fatigue from reading nearly 4500 pages of content. Either way, this one didn’t hold up as well for me.Wow
5By Smurftastic44Amazing epic.Astounding
5By ChroniuminusThese books just get better and better as I continue to read. Simply mind blowingIncredible book
5By Jsyld44This book weaves together sanderson’s classic style with a whole new level of twists and turns that will amaze the reader. Highly recommend.Amazing book
5By AllAbout2000I loved this book! This book was SOOOOOO amazing. I loved the recurrent theme of be yourself.Didn't Come Together
2By chinabradRead three of the books, and this last one was a mistake. There were too many disjointed sequences which made for confusion. Usually, going back in time can be interesting, but in this book it mainly served to sidetrack the reader away from a story that needed a more consistent path.Loved it!
5By Oodd B NarrBest series I’ve ever read. Love the characters and the world building in this series is mind blowing.10 +++ stars
5By tbdavies23!Amazing and profound, Sanderson does such a great job at making this epic fantasy relatable!!!Simply Stunning
5By Fheter3Today marks a dismal day, for today, I finished Oathbringer and now am subject to nearly a whole year of waiting for Stormlight 4. Part of me worries ‘will Sanderson be able to top Oathbringer?’ Yet part of me believes, or rather knows, that like Bridge 4 believes in Kaladin’s resolve, I believe in Sanderson Stormblessed. So for the next year, I can rest easy knowing the next book will be another masterpiece, as is Oathbringer. Oathbringer is everything Stormlight fans would want in the next-in-series. The story is extremely well-crafted, and quite simply, a required read for anyone claiming to be a fan of epic fantasy, or anyone who just likes an incredible story.Sic series AGAIN!
