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.©2024 Dragonsteel Entertainment LLC Action & Adventure Best of 2024 Dark Fantasy Editors Select Epic Fantasy Genre Fiction Historical War & Military Emotionally Gripping

Critic Reviews

At a time when so much in life is a struggle, Sanderson has a rare talent for bringing wonder to the page - and the Wind and Truth stands as a blockbusting testament to a writer who has put the fun back in reading

what on Roshar happens next?! this feels so final, and yet... like it has just begun.

I am a huge fan of his masterful abilities to weave a story however as fantastic as this book is, a brilliant continuance of this enthralling saga, it bogged down with unnecessary romantic tangents and what I can only describe as woke inclusions that came across as forced, a rude ramming down the throat of political ideology. In saying that, if you can cringe your way through the unnecessary, then you are well rewarded with a story and a performance that will rank ultimately in mosts top three, well at least in mine.

Sigh was the woke pandering necessary

A great culmination to this part of the cosmere. Brilliantly tying everything together
My only critique which is minimal is the speed of narration but easily fixed with Audibles playback speed. I listen at 2.25x speed or 1.8 if I want it more relaxed :) hope that helps

Brilliant as always
