This excerpt it's really good, the voices are on point with the scenes and it just leaves you wanting so much more !!

Absolutely perfect. Great narration and this excerpt definitely makes me want the book NOW. This series is a huge time investment but 100% worth the hype

Let me preface this review by saying that it covers only the first 33 Chapters and 3 Interludes that I received as a sample of this sizable volume and I will update with a review of the entire book sometime shortly after publication. I assume that Brandon Sanderson and his epic Stormlight Archive series needs no introduction to any fans of SFF unless they have been living under a rock for the last decade, but for those who have not gotten around to reading this series and enjoy sweeping epics with fantastic world building and interesting characters, find your way to The Way of Kings and join us on Roshar. And for those that have diligently been following the tales of Dalinar Kholin, Kaladin, Shallan, and their friends and enemies; eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the first subseries of Stormlight Archive...it is upon us. The beginning of the book refamiliarizes readers with the characters and sets the stage for the impending confrontation. We are reacquainted with the players, reappraised of the stakes, and reaffirmed in our commitment to reaching an epic showdown. The pacing was just right to savor this final tome of this cherished series but not too slow to draw away interest. I came at this book with mixed feeling, sadness for the ending of a series that I've very much enjoyed, but excitement to see how it all plays out. This preview served to strengthen both of those emotions. It was a taste of what is coming but it definitely left me wanting more.
My sample was in the audiobook format, which was a pleasant listen. Both narrators were wonderful. Though I frequently enjoy audiobooks, my reading of all the prior volumes of the series had been physical books but I delighted in Kate Reading and Michael Kramer's recital so much so that the next time that I reread this series, I will probably choose the audiobooks.
I received advanced digital access to this sample thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, Macmillan Audio) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
(4.5/5)
And for fans of Stormlight Archive who just can't wait until that first weekend in December and want to get their first taste of Wind and Truth, the publisher is posting what I am assuming will end up being the same length as the sample that I previewed in increments of a couple chapters at a time in both text and audio formats to their website at https://reactormag.com/columns/wind-and-truth/
I highly recommend trying the audiobook for those who haven't as this may convert you to the format.

How does one fairly rate a sample chapter? It was very good but too short of a sample to fairly judge the larger work. I was silly and requested this one without seeing that it was only a sample. I look forward to to the full novel. This sample just made me want the rest of the book... which I suppose the point of a sample

loved this preview!!!!!!!! so excited to hear the rest when it drops!!! the narrators are excellent as always!

Excellent as always, Kramer and Reading are decent with the material, but some of their voices are strange choices.

Requesting Wind and Truth extended excerpt from Macmillan Audio and NetGalley was a huge mistake, lol. Not only did I not get any sleep in the last day (since I started listening yesterday afternoon and went straight through until morning) but now I have to wait until December for the rest of the story! Like all of Sanderson's work the story is an absolute delight and at least from the 20-25% I've had the pleasure of listening to I can easily say longtime fans are going to love it. Kate Reading and Michael Kramer are back as narrators (always love when a series keeps consistent narrators) and as always they do a fantastic job and I know I will need to buy this in both hardcover (need to add it to my collection) and audio form. My anticipation is now through the roof. What a way to end the year!

Thank you to NetGalley, MacMillan Audio, and most especially to the ever-prolific Brandon Sanderson for this eAudioARC of the first 20% of Wind and Truth.
To say my expectations were high would be a gross mischaracterization of how I went into this extended excerpt. At the conclusion of Rhythm of War, Roshar is set up for an showdown between forces, the raw power of which neither side fully comprehends; all while our protagonists are still reeling from the events of the past few days.
With the urgency at hand, would have been easy for Mr. Sanderson to ignore the gravitas of what's come before and jump straight into the breakneck action or to spend so much screen time digesting Rhythm of War as to create a ponderous and dragging narrative. Yet here he threads the needle expertly to not only give readers the opportunity to reconnect with and reestablish ourselves with the characters & the world, but to up the proverbial ante significantly and both fulfill dozens of promises didn't expect to bear fruit until the back half of the series while simultaneously exploding our understanding of the Cosmere and giving us countless new questions to ponder.
I regret only that the excerpt stopped when it did and that now I find myself needing to wait another 45 days before I can continue the Journey.
If you're a fan of the Cosmere, you won't be disappointed!
