About this listen

 The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Brandon once again had me in the edge of my seat for 60 hours. Voice acting done by two of the best in the game. As I said earlier, just read mate, it’s bloody brilliant.

Just read it.

A truly incredible wrap-up to ERA 1 of Roshar. So much happened, so many revelations. I audibly gasped a handful of times, cried a couple of times and even had my mind blown.
If Brandon Sanderson has a freak accident and passes before he finishes the Cosmere, I'm personally going on a journey of my own and dragging him back down from his destination to finish it.

I think one of the VA's had a sore throat at the start of this reading, hopefully they re-record and replace the parts that were most jarring, but otherwise absolutely stellar as always.

Brandon Sanderson has a massive fan base and it's still too small for how good he is

The entire book is amazing, staying true to other Sanderson's books, but the end of this arc for SLA is top notch.
Could not recommend this more. A worthy book to read. Journey before destination.
