Hay secretos que hemos guardado mucho tiempo. Vigilantes. Insomnes. Eternos. Y pronto dejarán de ser nuestros.

La Una que es Tres busca, sin saberlo, el alma capturada. El spren aprisionado, olvidado hace mucho tiempo. ¿Puede liberar su propia alma a tiempo de hallar el conocimiento que condena a todos los pueblos de Roshar?

El Soldado Caído acaricia y ama la lanza, incluso mientras el arma hiende su propia carne. Camina siempre hacia delante, siempre hacia la oscuridad, sin luz. No puede llevar consigo a nadie, salvo aquello que él mismo puede avivar.

La Hermana Derrumbada comprende sus errores y piensa que ella misma es un error. Parece muy alejada de sus antepasados, pero no comprende que son quienes la llevan a hombros. Hacia la victoria, y hacia ese silencio, el más importante de todos.

This is my second time reading through this book. It is still my favorite of the Stormlight Archive that I've read so far.

I am once again deeply impressed with the narrative choices made in this book. In a fantasy book especially, it is refreshing to acknowledge the mental health toll of constant fighting, and to portray a very real trend in which veterans retire to serve other veterans as they navigate their trauma. I also find that the relationship between the queen and her captor develops with nuance and believably.

I am also blown away by the world building. It is quite something for a magic system to have enough depth that a novel could reasonably portray the scientific process in discovering its (not entirely real world) mechanisms. The blend of real world and fantasy physics makes for a balance of believably and novelty.

Overall, an excellent book.

Mental health in a fantasy!

A #fantasy where mental health takes centre stage! Shallan's dissociative disorder is particularly well done. Solid fare as usual, with some interesting sciencing, though the cosmic machinations are overly obscure. Very inefficient at 1200 pages.
