Publisher's Summary

The Stormlight Archive saga continues in Rhythm of War, the sensational fourth book in Brandon Sanderson's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar's crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move.

Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin's scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals, and potentially reveal the secrets of the ancient tower that was once the heart of their strength.

At the same time that Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role within the Knights Radiant, his Windrunners face their own problem: As more and more deadly enemy Fused awaken to wage war, no more honorspren are willing to bond with humans to increase the number of Radiants. Adolin and Shallan must lead the coalition's envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium, or personally face the storm of failure.

Don't be put off by bad reviews

I read the reviews of this book saying it was too long etc, so I asked other people I knew who read the book and they said the author gets into the metaphysics of the stormlight series. I just finished it and I'd say it is not a word too long. A great piece of art and I'm richer for reading it. Congratulations to Brandon and the team.

If you’ve read this far in the series, you’ll enjoy this book

Very representative of Brandon Sanderson’s epic fantasy writing. Clearly he’s planned the plot for the book (and series) and given all of his protagonists (and antagonists) plot-influencing character arcs.

If you’ve read this far in the Stormlight series, you will not be disappointed with this book.

Scope requires vision, vision requires imagination

Brandon isn't the Tolkien of our times; Brandon is the Sanderson of times to come.
