AUDIO COMMENTARY
Praise for the Stormlight Archive
"Oathbringer is everything I expected it to be. Not only does it make good on the promises of the first two volumes, it elevates the Stormlight Archive to new heights of epic magic, exceptional worldbuilding, and satisfying action. With each new novel, Sanderson proves himself to be the true heir to Robert Jordan's throne. He's writing big, meaty, contemplative epic fantasy, and showing no signs of slowing down."—B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog on Oathbringer
