There are also some very cool moments where people put aside prejudice and choose to care for each other regardless of where they came from. We see countless acts of sacrifice and heroism throughout the narrative. The book handles trauma very carefully, and it is extremely well done. Positive Content: On the flip side to that negative content, there are some incredible moments where characters overcome trauma and choose heroism over succumbing to despair. Nothing physically abusive, but certainly emotional abuse. There is also marital conflict embedded within the story. We see the brutality of war and what it can do to the mind of an individual.
There is quite a bit more emotional trauma that is woven into the narrative, and characters sometimes respond in a negative way. Other Negative Content: While society still has a caste system to a degree, it is less present in this book. However, most of the swear words in the story are reinvented curse words like, “Storms!” or “You stormin’ fool!” Language: Very little, but there are some swear words, such as d*** and h***. There are also two other gods who are discussed extensively throughout the narrative. * SPOILER TO PREVIOUS ENTRIES* Our main cast is fighting a war against Odium, a god, although with limited powers. Almost all major characters struggle with faith and their personal beliefs, asking big questions about god and the spiritual forces that control Roshar. However, RoW notches it up spirituality is ever present in the story. In previous books, there was a lot of talk about the Vorin Church, which resembled a mishmash version of several true world religions. Spiritual Content: Extensive spiritual content. There are no “sex scenes.”ĭrug/alcohol use: Very little. It is clear that several characters are sexually active, but nothing is described. Sanderson continues his streak of keeping the story clean on this front, but there are a few innuendos.
The violence isn’t too descriptive unless it serves a point for the plot. As with other books in the series, standard fantasy violence ensues: sword fighting, magic use on enemies, and large-scale battles. The series speaks for itself! The question is: Does Book Four live up to the hype and excitement? Let’s jump in and find out! Content Guide This speaks to the quality of the series because it has not yet been adapted into a TV series or movie to garner excitement. The anticipation from fans was unbelievable, and I was surprised to see some non-fantasy readers excited for this novel as well. Rhythm of War (RoW) may be one of the most highly anticipated fantasy novels I have ever witnessed. After another three years of waiting, the fourth book in Brandon Sanderson’s extremely popular series, The Stormlight Archive has finally arrived.
