(SFF Bingo): Wind and Truth, by Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight Archive #5)

(This part will be more applicable when I crosspost to Reddit:) I know there have been a lot of takes of the form “here are the parts of Wind and Truth that didn’t click for me,” and I suspect this is going to overlap with many of them, so sorry. With a book/series of this scope it’s hard to really do a coherent/organized review, so this is mostly going to be bullet points of things that worked and didn’t work for me. My overall enjoyment of the series isn’t necessarily a function of how many bullet points are on either side.
  
Just walk out! Hit da bricks! )
Bingo: Perfect fit for Knights and Paladins (the hard mode is “the character has an oath or a promise to keep,” lolololol), A Book In Parts (hard mode, four or more parts), Gods and Pantheons.

Better late than never

In approximately September 2020 I had a conversation that kind of took a striking turn and made me go "huh, this is an interesting allusion, there should be a poem in it."

I buckled down and wrote that poem...today, the ninth of May, 2025.

It turned out to be sonnet-length so there's that!
