wait when you say book 5, is that book 3 part 1 or actually book 5? (i only have the first 3/6 books and am 2 part 2 atm and if there are even more books i might cry [of sadness or happiness i'm not sure])

there are five books in the series, two novellas (between words of radiance and oathbringer and between oathbringer and rhythm of war, respectively) and there are 4-5 distinct parts to each main book. I just finished wind and truth, the fifth and most recent book, as well as the final book in the first arc of the story

“The human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.” — Robert Fritz.

“Stories surge up out of nowhere, and if they feel compelling, you follow them.” — Paul Auster.

“Winning without honor is worse than a loss.” — Frank Sonnenberg.

“Even in the midst of darkness, there is always a shard of light if we will but search for it hard enough and believe in it strongly enough.” — Jenelle Leanne Schmidt.
