Reread update, April 2023 - damn this book still slaps. I said below it was my favorite book ever, but with time, A Storm of Swords still reigns supreme. Still, #2 ain't nothing to sneeze at. I even found this book funnier on reread! Who would have thought.

I finished this book in November, five months ago. I knew it then, but I didnt review the book because at the time, I was just too beside myself to be coherent and I wanted to be sure when I said what I knew to be true the moment I closed this book. This is my favorite book of all time.

Everything fires at all cylinders in this book. The entire Stormlight Archive is amazing, but of the other three books, they each have SOMETHING that I didn't enjoy as much or didn't love. This book, though, is pure bliss. It is Harmony. The Sanderlache of this book is incredible. The scene where a character says “Honor is dead” is maybe my favorite action scene ever put to page.

If you're reading this and you haven't started this book, what are you waiting for??
