Dawnshard: From The Stormlight Archive by Brandon SandersonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brandon Sanderson’s novella Dawnshard focuses on the quest to a mysterious island of Aimia that has ramifications not only for Roshar, but also to the Cosmere as a whole. The primary characters are Rysn and the Lopen, secondary characters from the main Stormlight novels in either the Interludes or Kaladin chapters. While the story begins slowly, Sanderson’s writing really gets things moving soon enough and the surprising foreshadowing of some conversations between characters to developments in the narrative are so subtle that only seeing those conversations again do you realize what Sanderson did. Overall, the novella doesn’t need to be read before Rhythm of War but if one chooses to, you’ll better understand some of the character development that Lopen exhibits from Oathbringer.
