I like The Lopin in the main line books he’s funny and was one of my favorite characters good comedic relief but also cool. I really really hope we dive deeper into Rysn because in Oathbringer she was cool as all fuck! In here though I lose all interest in her.


That sounds bad, but with the Kaladin moments or Shallan moments there were things happening around them while they dealt with their inner turmoil. There was no action minus the final 30 minutes. It’s just a girl that can’t walk on a boat. So much that it doesn’t even seem like a fantasy book for a majority of it. WHICH makes sense it’s something new for her and how she deals with it etc but I feel it delves WAY to much into it. I LOVE Rysn as a character, but like for 5 hours it’s just her being a cripple. So long in fact I didn’t wanna read and listen to Rhythm of War until I finished this. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akina, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale (like Edgedancer before it) gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine. From Brandon Sanderson-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War-comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard.
