reviewed Wind and Truth by Empty Author (The Stormlight Archive, #5)

Empty Author: Wind and Truth (Paperback, 2024, Gollancz) 4 stars

The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times …

Good finale, but a little underwhelming

4 stars

Lynn Buchanan: Dollmakers (2024, HarperCollins Publishers) 3 stars

Lots of potential, but annoying protagonist

3 stars

I read this because Sanderson sent a short preview in his newsletter last year, which I really liked - the worldbuilding felt fun and innovative. The protagonist is very annoying though, and while it makes for good conflict, it chafes too much through the story. There's a decent character study in there somewhere, but it doesn't come through with such an annoying character.
