Stormlight

The Stormlight Archive is 5,000 pages of planned epic fantasy, and the characters are what makes that commitment worth it. Kaladin’s fight with depression, Shallan’s struggles with identity, Dalinar’s shot at redemption – Sanderson writes people who represent something real, something you’ll recognise. In this article I explain every major POV, what their arcs mean, and why they tend to stay with you long after the final page.
