Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray.

The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing …

He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Enjoyable parts but bogged down by some weak writing

Let me preface this by saying I still really like the world of the cosmere and the world of Roshar. I think in a world with a lot of great novels, there's bound to be ones that are weaker. Just some notes: - There was a lot of meandering in the plot for this one. I felt like a lot of character arcs didn't feel organic or didn't really go anywhere that was interesting - There's a theme in here around depression, but some of the 4th camera wall breaking was just jarring and some of the diction and language just felt forced and inorganic which took me out of the plot - There doesn't really feel like there's a proper ending to this novel. The crux of the plot is around the content of champions, but it feels like so little is spent on that plot that it didn't …

This was definitely the hardest one for me to finish. Not sure it's one I'd want to do a reread on. Maybe when we know more about the cosmere, this one will carry more weight
