It’s hard to describe the immensity of this book. It takes commitment, but the payoff is even more than than expected. After the first ~20 pages of intriguing backstory, you’re met with more than 800 pages of slow world building, that I’m sure to some could be seen as a battle to trudge through, but Sanderson’s prose is so beautiful that every page is as addicting as the next, even though nothing truly substantial is going on. The last few hundred pages escalate to a beautiful conclusion to part one of the stormlight archives, which then quickly reveals the fact that you will end the book with more questions than you could have at any point during the rest of the book. Heavily invested and excited to continue the journey.
