Reviews
So, I need to start by saying I found this series through Nerdforge when they made huge copies of his books (https://youtu.be/13coGQUp3ck?si=-y6g_4qVDBuvL8u_). They looked amazing and seeing how much she adored the books, I knew I had to check them out for myself.I was scared, of course. What if I hated it? What if the characters annoyed me? It's a 45 HOUR LONG listen and that's a long time to suffer if I hated it but I would most likely suffer it because I don't like leaving books unfinished. I also hate myself so it's a bit of punishment.I can honestly say... I was worried for nothing. This book was AMAZING and I like all of the characters! (Kaladin, Adolin, Szeth and Renarin are all now my husbands and I adore the fanart people have made for them)This story is SO GOOD! Like, there's a lot I don't understand but that might be better explained in the later books (8 week wait to rent book 2? sheesh) I haven't been this hyped about a book series in a LONG time. It feels like I'm watching the LOTR movies again or experiencing Harry Potter for the first time. This author is my hero.The writing is amazing. The dialogue is realistic. There's drama and comedy and family. I'm HOPING there won't be love down the line because the books are perfect without them, but no one seems to be able to write great fantasy or adventure books without it. I'm so excited to learn more about this world, about its magic and history, about these awesome characters. I can't even read fanfiction because I don't want to spoil it (something I never care about because spoilers don't really bother me.) As a writer, you'd think I'd better be able to put into words how cool this series is lmao and I've only listened to book one!
"Vida antes que muerte, Fuerza antes que debilidad, Viaje antes que destino"LIBRAZO! Lo que pueda decir de este libro se queda corto, es el segundo libro que leo de Brandon Sanderson y el nivel que tiene su mente para crear un mundo imaginándose todo y cuando digo todo es TODO me sigue flipando.Es verdad que da un poco de respeto porque es Sanderson y porque son 1200 paginas pero te va metiendo tanto en cada personaje que al final acabas por querer saber un poco más de cada uno de ellos aunque está clarísimo que la palma se la lleva mi Kaladin Bendito de la Tormenta, que personajazo como he sufrido con él y con el puente 4 en serio cada vez que tocaba un capitulo suyo sufría lo más grande y bueno todo el misterio que lleva su personaje es que un 10!!! si lo mata en algún momento me pillo la baja por depresion :(Shallan otro personaje que me ha gustado mucho y que la trama final ha sido increíbleDalinar aunque es verdad que al principio sus capis se me hacían un poco largos pero todo lo que le pasa es que te da a querer saber más y más y estás como él queriendo saber respuestasSzeth me intriga un montón su personaje me mola mucho y todo lo del final bueno sin palabras Vamos es que las últimas 300 paginas son una puta pasada que voy a decir solo que tenéis que leer este libro! Es fantasía de la buena de la de películas de culto a ese nivel o incluso másAMAZINGY que me encanta vivir toda este viaje de Sanderson a mi compi de aventuras Jess ♥"Una historia no vive hasta que no es imaginada en la mente de alguien"
