Reading this book in two parts and over long stretches of time was not exactly ideal for me. However, Brandon Sanderson is a god with words and he managed to write it in a way that I always found it easy to come back into the book. This first part of Oathbringer felt like it was raising more questions than answers. I especially liked the prologue, again, because it gives yet another perspective on the event of the prologues from the other two books. There is also a lot of questioning regarding the "enemies", who are starting to appear less evil. It is just so unclear where everything is headed that it makes my fingers itch to turn each page! The character developments are also quite interesting, specifically those of Shallan and Kaladin. It seems that the responsibility of saving the world might weigh a bit too much on those two and it's just shown in such a good way! For example, Shallan's drawings, that can be seen throughout the book, tend to become less accurate and more wild. It also appears that she is drawing some of the more disturbing surrealistic pieces without knowing of them. That just makes her character more interesting (and quite a bit creepy)! The feeling of fear for the characters and the undeniable slow slide towards a catastrophe are, fortunately, lightened up by that great humor of Sanderson. I am so curious to see how this book, and the series as a whole, is going to end and I will try my hardest to read the second part of Oathbringer as slow as possible to cherish it!
