Rhythm of War Part Two (STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE) Hardcover – Import, 4 May 2023

Aún no lo he empezado pero seguro que está de lujo

As with the previous novels that form ‘The Stormlight Archive’, the fourth is physically split into two actual books. This is, therefore, the second half of ‘Rhythm of War’ and, as they are actually the same continuous novel, this should definitely be read in conjunction with the first part, even though ‘Rhythm of War’ does, perhaps, have a more natural halfway point where the split occurs than its predecessors.Although the second part of ‘Rhythm of War’ is concerned with Shallan and Adolins’ quest in the Shadesmar and with Dalinor’s military campaign, it is predominantly focussed upon those trying to liberate Urithiru from occupation. This means that Navani and Kaladin take centre stage much of the time. Both experience significant personal journeys that develop them very well in preparation for the fifth and final book in this sequence of ‘The Stormlight Archive’.Navani’s relationship with Raboniel is particularly well portrayed. As well as providing Navani with a good opponent she can directly engage with, it also makes the character of Raboniel much more interesting and multi-faceted, elevating her above archetypal evil villain. As they try to outwit and outmanoeuvre each other they develop a begrudging respect that borders on a friendship that can’t really be. Their battle of wits and cunning also parallels nicely with the hugely physical contest between Kaladin and the Pursuer.After suffering something like PTSD in nature, Kaladin was side-lined from military efforts and commanding the Radiants in the first part of ‘‘Rhythm of War’. With the occupation of Urithiru he has a new purpose that allows him to regain his focus. This treatment revitalises the character and makes his personal development as a Radiant a more interesting process.Kaladin’s struggle with his mental condition during events parallels well with Shallan’s efforts at dealing with her multiple personalities. As probably the two most prominent figures throughout ‘The Stormlight Archive’ they both reach a vital stage of realisation by the novel’s close.During the course of ‘Rhythm of War’ many characters, in fact, achieve some form of significant development personally and/or in terms of their Radiant related powers/abilities. A lot comes to fruition at the end of this second half, leaving things set up promisingly for the final book in the current series.

Amazing series of books. Definitely worth the read.

Again, I am looking forward to reading this text, having read all the previous books in the 'Stormlight' series. Thank you 😀👍.

Definitely might be the best series ive ever read. Better than mistborn as its more in depth and slightly more adult
