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.

Lo terminé anoche y aún sigo sin palabras. Para mí no es el mejor de lo que llevamos del Archivo de las tormentas pero no le quitaría ni media estrella. Me he sumergido de nuevo en Roshar rayando la obsesión y ahí sigo, escuchando los ritmos y con una resaca lectora de campeonato. A ver qué me leo yo ahora...
