Rhythm of War represents the first time in quite a while that I've read a book which is the latest in an actively ongoing series. So it was definitely a very engaging and interesting reading experience, both in knowing that this was the extent of the story for now, and in getting to see other people's ongoing reactions and predictions as I read. The book itself, unsurprisingly, continues to live up to the epic scope, themes and proportions (both in terms of content as well as physical book size) of the rest of the Stormlight Archive. The overarching storyline of the conflict between humanity and Odium is significantly progressed and there are plenty of amazing moments both for the plot and for specific characters. The opening and closing parts were definitely the highlights of the book, and I enjoyed the spotlight given throughout to Navani and the Parshendi - particularly as the latter added many more layers of nuance to their culture, their society and their motivations. I also felt that the focus on mental conditions and their effect on individuals on a personal as well as a social level was treated in a realistic and meaningful way. In addition to substantial worldbuilding for Roshar itself, Rhythm of Waralso brings in significant elements and connections to Sanderson's wider cosmere. While I certainly appreciate the depth and intricacy of his extended universe, I generally prefer my series to be largely self-contained in terms of lore, and without having read more of Sanderson's works, some of the references left me confused rather than engrossed. I also felt that the pacing and distribution of character perspectives was less balanced than in previous volumes. While it didn't really drag, it did mean that certain plot arcs got less attention and thus had a less impactful resolution than I was expecting. While I therefore wouldn't deem this my favourite book of the Stormlight Archive, Rhythm of War is still an excellent read and (perhaps more importantly) perfectly sets up the next book to provide the big finale to this first arc of the series. So, as is undoubtedly fitting for this book - journey before destination. A (Great). An evil god and his minions make their moves to end a thousands-year-old war. The first few books each had one central story (with a bunch of supporting storylines), while this one juggles all of them in more-or-less equal balance. Objectively, it makes for a weaker book, but as Episode Four Of Five of a series, it's very exciting. (Mar. 2024) I found myself caught up in the ongoing battle between the Parshendi and the Radiants ... just when I thought I understood the conflict, another aspect was revealed. I appreciate the fact that the conflict is complex - many shades of grey vs. purely black and white. I'm looking forward to understanding more clearly the role of the gods in this conflict. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
