However, I would like to digress that this book made me feel more empathetic towards them. Now, I will not be presumptuous and say he has done it well I believe this can only be judged by someone with the same issue, and I’m not. One of the things that Sanderson tried to do carefully in Dawnshard is to make sure the representation of disabled characters-mainly paraplegic-is done right. Approximately half of the book takes place in a seafaring travel section, but it was never boring Sanderson developed Rysn, Lopen, Cord, Huio, and also include stunning revelations about Cosmere in this section entire book, actually. I never thought about it before, but Sanderson’s decision to put Rysn and Lopen as the two POV characters in this novella is such a brilliant move. So why not make them up to be something positive?” “That was the thing about omens-they were made up. This novella exceeded Edgedancer in every possible way, and I’m so pleasantly surprised by how important it was on the grander scheme of the Cosmere. I haven’t read any previous chapters released for Rhythm of War, but I know for sure that the events that happened in Dawnshard display immense implications for the future of Roshar and the entire Cosmere universe.

What I didn’t expect, however, was that it will shed light on so many Cosmere hints and revelations.ĭawnshard takes place after Oathbringer and before Rhythm of War, it follows the story of Rysn as she’s tasked to go to Akinah. I knew Dawnshard will be a wonderful book, and I knew it will provide character development and other necessary information for the future of the series. No, seriously, I love the Cosmere universe so much that I actually felt annoyed when Sanderson decided to focus on Skyward instead of finishing Mistborn: Wax and Wayne series first. I think many of you have known that I am a devout fan of Sanderson’s Cosmere universe.
