What can I say about Oathbringer? This might be my favourite of the series so far. It has just so many things: connections, compassion, love, sorrow, sadness, hope, happiness, forgiveness and so much action. The depth of the worldbuilding and character development is unreal.

It's no secret I think Sanderson is a genius and that I'm thoroughly impressed with his imagination and what he's aiming with Cosmere. However, and though the worlds he is developing are incredible, I think he really shines with the characters development.

The fact that his characters are dealing with severe mental health issues is already worth praising, but they are wonderfully well written and researched, and this is mesmerizing to read. Their story, their sorrows, their healing journey and ultimately acceptance of their flaws is just beautiful and fills me with hope.

I feel completely drained, but this was beautiful!
