I think it was done really well, I think it really spoke to me, and I think mental health is always a good thing to thoroughly explore in books to continue to destigmatize it. And there may be readers who don't find characters dealing with their mental health to be important, and yeah, this book might not be for you. It gets deep, and it gets dark, darker than Brandon has taken characters before. Now, this might be controversial in the book, because the mental health stuff could be hard to read for some.
As someone who struggles with depression, this book spoke to me fantastically. Mental health and struggling with mental health takes center stage in the book, and it personally affected me more than it has in the series. This book is a character study for several of our characters, and the character moments are the best moments in the entire novel. I think a lot of people will tear up on more than a few occasions.Ĭharacter is a massive focus in Rhythm of War, moreso than Words of Radiance and Oathbringer. There will be a lot of pain and suffering, too. Rhythm of War has some absolutely killer moments. Plus, stuff happens! A lot of stuff happens in this book, and it will really surprise you in many ways. It's just that the world of Roshar is so big, and the number of characters is so big, that there's a lot to do in this. I didn't think Oathbringer had fluff, but this book is even leaner.
