At ~6:50 you say men from Bridge Four bring him "A book called Oathbringer". They actually bring him the sword Oathbringer, Dalinar's former Shardblade, which Sadeas was in possession of after the events of the end of WoK. The book Oathbringer has not been written at this point as Dalinar starts writing it at the very end of this volume of SA.
@Tomer Michaeli Thanks for pointing out the Taln mistake. He's very much alive at the end of Oathbringer, and with team Honor. Even if he's not all with it.
Small clarification: Dalinar's family wasn't hiding alcohol from him. He was literally drinking it so fast it seemed to disappear to him. Dalinar accuses Gavilar and Adolin of hiding it from him, but we get a comment from Gavilar, I think, that Dalinar just goes through it too fast.
Jezrien was not the one who endured the 4500 years of torture. That was Taln. Jezrien was the one in the prologue of WoK waiting for Kalak and who actually ordered poor Taln doomed to that fate. Side note: also he is Ash’s father and his death was a true death and one he can’t be reborn from. All other heralds felt it happen. I think you just got tired at the end there Daniel!
@@Kiki-oo3bw Have you read Oathbringer if not this is minor spoiler so don't read on... Ash is short for Shalash and is the Herald who has been going around wrecking statues and paintings. At the end of Oathbringer we see her and Taln feel the death of Jezrien and she says my father is dead.
Is Ash half "Black" and half "Asian"? I mean Jezrien looked different than Shalash ethnicity-wise. P.S. i used quotation marks because black and asian are not used in Roshar to denote a specific race
@@brightskysyl3913 Ash and Jezrien both have dark skin but Jezriens is lighter than Ash’s perhaps as he is described as almost Alethi but a bit darker which means maybe he has the epicanthic folds too, I do not know.. Ash does not have the epicanthic folds to the eyes. They both have black hair. I think the resemblance is there well enough. We don’t know who Ash’s mother was or what she looked like so every deviation can be explained that way.
You and Merphy did a great job! Unlike the first two Stormlight books (which I devoured in a couple weeks) I STRUGGLED so hard to get through Oathrbinger. I thought I would breeze right through it because Dalinar is best boy, but I had the hardest time paying attention as a I slogged through it. Your video really filled in some gaps and reminded me of important points. From a fellow reader, THANK YOU! 😭
oathbringer has defintly been the biggest emotional experince with a book i've had. the 5th part has so many exclenet moments I was weeping. Jasnah and Renarin embracing, Dalinar and Odium confronting, Ash and Taln. Uuuugh so good!
That part made me cry too... “I did kill the people of Rathalas,” Dalinar shouted. “You might have been there, but I made the choice. I decided!” He stilled. “I killed her. It hurts so much, but I did it. I accept that. You cannot have her. You cannot take her from me again.” “Dalinar,” Odium said. “What do you hope to gain, keeping this burden?” Dalinar sneered at the god. “If I pretend … If I pretend I didn’t do those things, it means that I can’t have grown to become someone else.”
Kinda spoilery by saying what does and doesn't carry on to the next book. Also Shallan turns Adolin into a dashing old man (not young man) and Kal actually thinks she made Adolin into the kind of man that makes women think they're into older men when in fact they are into him. Dunno why that's a detail that stuck in my mind...
Wasn't the only time they said something didn't carry over was about the love triangle between Adolin, Kaladin, and Shallan that was wrapped up before the end of Oathbringer?
This came right when I needed it, I’ve been reading the Coppermind summaries and they are amazing but soooo in depth lol, 40 min of this seems like the best balance.
You left out the part where Shallan and Bridge 4 discovered an unmade living inside urithiru; re'shephir the midnight mother. I forget the details of how that confrontation went down but I think the unmade ended up being expelled from urithiru and the room it was residing in turned out to be a strange device for an unknown purpose
Basically ReShephir creates violent shadow images of people in an attempt to reconnect with its abandoned humanity, and Shallan is able to drive it off because Shallan reminds it of the radiant who imprisoned it. Well at least that's what's hinted at, it's not 100% clear. It's possible that Shallan's fractured impression of herself, as well her resolve to learn more about ReShephir confronted the unmade with a mirror of its own thoughts and actions which scared it off, and the woman Shallan thought was the radiant who imprisoned ReShephir was the unmade herself. Mostly I go with option #2 because I'm pretty sure that by the end of the series the Radiants will be more than just full Knights Radiant and instead be full on metaphysical creatures like the Heralds and the Unmade, so that there can be a coherent explanation of how those kinds of creatures came about. Maybe by taking the final oath they transcend their humanity or something. Pretty sure Wit will remain a mystery. The god jester characters always do. Haven't read Rhythm yet though.

Maaaan should have read the part between Dalinar and Odium in the final battle straight from the book. "The most important step isn't the first is it? It's the next" doesnt imply that accepting responsibility is the most important step, but that refusing to quit and continuing to move forward is and THAT is so powerful!
I think that the Herald killed at the end by Moash is Jezrian the king of the Heralds yes but Talenel was the one who was tortured for 4500 years and was with ishar in Thalen City at the last battle of Oathbringer
15:23 you state "Gavilar his own son" however, I believe you meant Renarin. As you mentioned this is a hell of an undertaking so totally understandable to have a couple of slips!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Small request: I think it would be extremely helpful to plop the name of the character on screen the first time you say it. A lot of people have only ever said these names in their head and might not recognize what you're saying without the visual reference (maybe they pronounce it differently or something). I came here because it's been ages since I read Oathbringer and I want to dive into Rhythm of War without having to read that tome in preparation, but I'm so lost with the character names & have had to pause your video several times to look them up. I'm old. lol. Just a suggestion. Thanks!!!
Thanx a lot for these summary...really needed it...I read the first 3 just this year and i am already forgetting..Man its so much..My favorite is definitely oathbringer....
I appreciate this a lot. I finished the book more than a year ago. Got side-tracked reading a bunch of other books and now want to get back. This is perfect, thank you!
(meme comment only) You missed the most important character, Stick. Stick says "I am a stick" when confronted by the soulcaster, who attempts to entreat with "but you could be fire". Stick retorts "I am a stick!" and the desperate soulcaster retorts "but, like Evi, you could be fire". The stick is stuck in its ways and does not Change.
This summary is impressive. Seriously, hats off to y'all for putting this together. This has made me jumping into Rhythm of War way smoother since I read Oathbringer a long time ago.
Only just found these summaries and I am so grateful as my copy of the Rhythm of War arrived today and I wanted to make sure I went into it with memory refreshed. Thank you for these amazing summaries.
Thank you for your work on these summarys, it helps to revisit these books at summary speed. It was also helpful to have Murphy do the other pertinent characters. (I have never been so happy to not be able to read all the words on a t-shirt, thank you).
I have been frantically been looking for yours or someones summary of Oathbringer, started relistening it to but haven't had that much time with studies. Thank you!
Awesome video! Just finished Oathbringer and I love to watch these when I am done to see your thoughts and make sure I remember everything important :D
so glad you did this! I've re-read books 1 and 2 a couple times but Oathbringer only one read through upon release. I need a refresher before I start ROW
Great summary. It's like watching the entire oathbringer in fast forward. I could clearly remember the events that were happening and I am so hyped for Rythm of War.
Yeah, a lot of people get bogged down in how slow the buildup in OB is (though is it really that slow when you have a scene like the Kholinar sequence climax 2/3 through the book, not to mention the Re-Sephir scene at the end of part 1? - an aside but OB is definitely the Stormlight book where you can feel the trilogy structure the most) but that ending more than pays off in my mind.
Just wanna say really quickly that the quality of your videos has improved so much. I know that it's obvious and this is an irrelevant comment, but I remember your old book reviews from years ago and looking at just your camera's difference is so astounding man. Love your channel and the content that you provide for us, your audience. Keep it up dude!!
When i first subscribed to this channel it was because of the Stormlight summaries. I waited for weeks for Oathbringer and eventually just enjoyed the channel so i stayed subscribed. 2 years later my patience has been rewarded. Now in 4k
Thank you! ... i remember you recommending this series a year or two ago and now here I am completely hooked pre-ordered Rhythm of War appreciate the recap
Just reread the series and finished Oathbringer for the first time a couple weeks ago so I was VERY excited to watch this but I can't even focus because that hoodie is fresh and I can't stop looking at it. I want
Wow. Just Wow. I saw what you were going to try to do and thought it was impossible. Amazing. It was a good idea from a viewer's perspective to have two people doing the summary.
Just read it and loved it no less than the previous. The last 20% of the book were superb, especially the meaning behind the emotional moments! Brandon is a Write Radiant!
Yeah I was a bit thrown by that - it definitely sounds like Merphy was implying he is/becomes a Radiant and I had a moment where I freaked out because I was trying to figure out how I could have I forgotten something that big. I reaaaaally hope he doesn’t though - we kinda have too many almost-OP Radiant characters at this point and while I don’t have much love for Adolin as a character I hope he continues to provide a foil to the other characters. That said I don’t think he will become one, it just wouldn’t make much sense for his character.
It was pretty obvious. Unless I guess sanderson is deliberately trying to mislead us. I mean maya saves adolin, then possibly summons in less than 10 seconds later against the thunderclast. He can sorta kinda communicate with her at the end too.
@@chainandsprocket13 It's said a lot that a lot of the spren don't trust humans anymore because of the recreance and I wonder if that relationship will be repaired by Adolin kinda reviving Maya.
Super appreciate the recap, took a break whilst reading RoW so im just gonna start over. Also, it's funny hearing all the names ive been reading for the past year said aloud so it took me 20 minutes to realize you guys were saying Jasnah (I've always said it w/ a J sound rather than a Y).
When Daniel uploads a long video, so you get exited and prepare popcorn, drinks and a comfy chair only to realize you can watch it because of spoilers. :(
Does anyone else say Sadeus like this: Suh Day Us... I switched to Sad E Us after listening to the Audiobook of oathbringer but the first two books I said it Suh Day Us.
My pronunciations: Adolin - same emphasis and vowel sound as "mandolin" Shallan - like Alan Renarin - like MEN are in - not men ARE in. Jasnah - like JAZZ-nuh Sadeus - like SAY-dee-us Now I'm wondering if I've been wrong all this time - and whether I could change it in my head if I tried. 😄
People have been asking me for this since I lived in Alabama. SO HERE YOU GO!
Respond here with anything you think needs correction!
At ~6:50 you say men from Bridge Four bring him "A book called Oathbringer".

hey the champion with nine shadows is not a spren, but rather someone whom odium will choose
@15:24 you say that it's "Gavilar, his own son" who gives Dalinar alcohol. I think it should be Renarin. Names are hard, yo.
@@muhammadhashir6136 I think he meant the shadows were Odium's spren. Unclear antecedent.
@Tomer Michaeli Thanks for pointing out the Taln mistake. He's very much alive at the end of Oathbringer, and with team Honor. Even if he's not all with it.
You've got your heralds mixed up at the end there, it's Jezrien who is killed, but Taln who withstood 4,500 years of torture alone
This^
Yeah, Jezrien endured 4,500 years of alcoholism. Still bad but like...
Thanks, came here to say this
Yup. Talns response to finding out what happened full on broke me. "What a gift you've given them"
@@clockworktuba Me too, though really it's Talns gift.
Small clarification: Dalinar's family wasn't hiding alcohol from him. He was literally drinking it so fast it seemed to disappear to him. Dalinar accuses Gavilar and Adolin of hiding it from him, but we get a comment from Gavilar, I think, that Dalinar just goes through it too fast.
I think it's confirmed in the opening prologue of RoW that they do hide it
they did in fact clearly hide alcohol from him
Yeah, turns out gaviar is an ass.
After listening to this I'm confident I'll have no clue what's going on when I start Rythm of War.
Yeah I read this book when it came out
And I have forgot allots
It is so complicate
This is me XD
Me to my friend: Wow, I totally didn’t expect Evi to be there
My heartless friend: *NEITHER DID DALINAR*
"Dude, don't destroy books. Read the room."
Congrats. That's the hardest I've laughed all day, and it's been a good day for laughter
You're basically doing 300 pages every 10 minutes. If there's a mistake, I'll live
the only notable thing that REALLY important, is that Moash doesn´t kill the Herald that endured the 4500 years of torment, but one of the others
@@polo826 yeah you dont want to mix that up
That’s because the story moves soooo dam* slooooow. I wish Brandon would get to the point and save a tree.

I love how Brandon Sanderson named the first three Stormlight Books the title of the book that's in the book
All four, actually.

@@chainandsprocket13 It's said a lot that a lot of the spren don't trust humans anymore because of the recreance and I wonder if that relationship will be repaired by Adolin kinda reviving Maya.
Daniel, thank you so much. Life totally unbalanced. No time to reread Oathbringer, but now I can start Rhythm of War for the Holidays and relax.
Thanks for taking the time for this!! really useful. Looking forward to reading Rhythm of War ^^
Thank you so much for making this, there is so much I’d forgotten omg
This is the nice little review of the story so far before Rythm of Was comes out :) thankyou!
I am deeply envious of Daniels hair. So seamlessly perfect, video after video
I literally finished it last week!!!! And now ive read the first 19 chapters of rhythm of war! I’m so excited for this
Thanks guys. I forgot how much I forgot about this monster book. Literally starting ROW now. Perfect timing for the lockdown here in Canada.
Letting you know you had a typo in the description :) might wanna fix that
Thank you for working so hard on keeping us all updated all the time :D
You total G.
I was always sad this was never out. You came through at the last minute like Bridge 4 came back for Dalinar.
Heeeey all the way in 2023 this is still helping out folks just getting through Stormlight Archives for the first time! Thanks man!
I appreciate your hard work on this. Subbed.
So needed! Thank you! No way I was going to get a reread done before release!
Been waiting to finish oath bringer so I could watch this, today is the day, thanks Daniel
Thank you!! I needed this so badly🙏🙏
Excellent video! Thank you! Perfect timing
I just started oathbringer on Sunday after tearing through the first two books, and wooo I love this series!!!
I hope you didn’t watch this video then.
@@Arezoo298195
Just the intro!
It’s a good one !!
@@93siguy
I’m like 500 pages in and yes, it is a good one
Go away then! Mad man
Super appreciate the recap, took a break whilst reading RoW so im just gonna start over. Also, it's funny hearing all the names ive been reading for the past year said aloud so it took me 20 minutes to realize you guys were saying Jasnah (I've always said it w/ a J sound rather than a Y).
This is perfect. Just what I needed before next week. So excited!!!!! 😆😆😆
Finally, just the recap I needed to get ready for book 4.
MY. MAN. exactly what I wanted thank you so much Daniel , greatly appreciated
Loved the part where Dalinar walks into the highstorm, dodges a fucking boulder, and returns with a better knife
Absolutely fantastic! Waiting for book 4 is soooooo difficult!
15:24 Renarin is Dalinar's own son, not Gavilar :)
Funny as hell when Daniel be like Balinar or Galvilar instead of Adolin
Daniel flops are what make these videos even better
Thank you for this, I know this must have been so much work.
“Tanalan knows Dalinar would wreck his shit.” 🤣
I don't have time to finish my re-listen so this video is a godsend.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you sooo much! Great video. Also.... Merphy *swoon* 🥰
When Daniel uploads a long video, so you get exited and prepare popcorn, drinks and a comfy chair only to realize you can watch it because of spoilers. :(
Best book summary you have ever done!
Does anyone else say Sadeus like this: Suh Day Us... I switched to Sad E Us after listening to the Audiobook of oathbringer but the first two books I said it Suh Day Us.
I do. I also say JAS nuh, not YAS nuh.
I always said "SAY-dee-yus"
My pronunciations:
Adolin - same emphasis and vowel sound as "mandolin"
Shallan - like Alan
Renarin - like MEN are in - not men ARE in.
Jasnah - like JAZZ-nuh
Sadeus - like SAY-dee-us
Now I'm wondering if I've been wrong all this time - and whether I could change it in my head if I tried. 😄
I listened to the books from the very start so no
Finally finished oath-bringer so now I watch the goblin!!!
Im a simple man.
Thank you for the summary. I love how you paused put on your glasses and said gross. I literally laughed.
