Quote from rvchamne View quoted comment :
This is misleading. Kal is DEFINITELY one of three main characters. He has as much page time in books 3 & 4 as any of the others. The nephew you're referring to, -Adolin, is one of SANDERSON's best characters period. There has just been a wider scope applied to this series as it grows. Kal is very much still the Main main character.
Well, I do believe that as well, but Dalinar is stealing a little bit of the spotlight, luckily tho I enjoy his character just as much 😊

I thought it was just me. I couldn't figure out why reading though Oathbringer felt like I was trudging through it. I'd rather reread way of kings or the second book than push through Oathbringer.
But, now that you did... Dawnshard is a pleasant surprise and Rhythm of War starts with a bang! 😬

I wanted to name my child Kaladin, but that didn't get approved.
Maybe try Szeth-son-son-Vallano for the next one?

The series hasn't ended?
Not even at the half way point at the moment. Book 5of10 is expected to come out later this year followed by an extended break and then the next sequence of 5. Think I heard on his YT channel that he expects to take a 2-3 year break and then put out 1 new book every 2 years or so. That would put the earliest end-of-series about 10-12 years out.

Makes me feel excited knowing that I am enthralled with this series, currently 1/3 through book 3 and loving all of it and you're telling me his other stuff is EVEN BETTER?

oooo booyyyy.
Stormlight Archive is probably my favorite series from Sanderson, followed by Mistborn. But his other series and books are also really good as evident from the ratings on Goodreads. If you're a reader and likes fantasy genre, would recommend reading everything from him including the novellas.

If you like this check out Will Wight's Cradle series. Easier reads with more humor. I'm a big Sanderson fan but can't take the wait for more books.

This would make sense from GRRM fan, but Sanderson released 3 Cosmere novels last year. Dude is prolific.

The other part is that while he's taking a break from Stormlight, there will be other books coming out, still somewhat interconnected. He won't be stopping writing entirely.

Oh yeah, the man is addicted to writing! During early COVID lockdown, he wrote a bunch of small books to get over the stress of writing big books... whatta guy!

Unless...you get them 100% FREE!!!!! I just use my local library card and I have read and listened to the audiobooks of so many popular authors, all FREE! Why does no one use the library anymore? I haven't bought a book in years! In fact, lately I've been listening to the audiobook versions while I'm working and traveling. I have about 17 audiobooks qued up in my player, so I'm good for about 6 more months.

Using the library, I've read this book as well as many others he's written. I've read many other authors including Robert Jordan, Ursula K. Le Guinn, Steve Hobbs, Joe Abercrombie, David Eddings, Anne McCaffrey, Terry Brooks, George RR Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, Terry Pratchett etc. etc.

In my que I have the following coming up next: L.E. Modesit Jr. The Magic Engineer(This is book 3, I'm currently on book 2 but went ahead and downloaded this one to listen next)
Book 1 and 2 of the Divine Apostasy Series by author A.F. Kay. This is a deviation from my normal fantasy type books, but the description and reviews hooked me and I downloaded them as well and added it to my audio player. I don't know when I'll get around to listening to them, but they are there for a rainy day.
I also have the Spellmonger series by Terry Mancour. This is another series that was recommended by a ton of people on Reddit. I checked the library cloud and saw they basically had everything by this author. I downloaded the first 5 books, again for a rainy day.
I have Joe Abercrombie's Red Country, which is book 3 in the First Law World series. I took a break after reading book 1 and 2, but I do that with a lot of series, as I like to not overdo an author and circle back to them some months later after reading other books.

My point is that you guys/gals that are still paying for books are just throwing money away! My library even has a request form, if you'd like a certain book they don't have, they will try to acquire it. However I go to the main library in my area and it has a massive selection of fantasy and sci fi books. They have a cloud service that has even more titles for your Kindle, E-reader, and other devices. They also have a big selection of audiobooks for download and physical copies in the library too. In addition to books, they have just about every popular magazine if you like reading the latest National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Popular Science, etc. All the major newspapers every day, tons of movies and tv series, etc.

Check your local library out today!
