Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.
I feel like I’ve probably forgotten a ton of important stuff from the first two books, but all the same, I am really, really looking forward to this one!!
Oathbringer (The Stormlight Archive, #3) by Brandon Sanderson
Also by this author: Steelheart, Words of Radiance
Published by Tor Books on November 14th 2017
Pages: 1264
The eagerly awaited sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Words of Radiance, from an epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson at the top of his game.In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance.
Dalinar Kholin’s Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.
Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar’s blood-soaked past and stand together–and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past–even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.
1264 pages. Remember when the first book was going to be the longest and then the series would contain 9 more modest length books?

I’m anxiously awaiting this as well, and that 1264 page count has me ridiculously excited. I love getting immersed in Sanderson’s epics. If I can land a physical ARC of this, I’ll be a very happy man. 🙂
Very excited for this one, and so glad that it’s going to squeak by for a 2017 release!

It’s really kind of funny that I read it as “Oatbringer” in the newsletter 😀
