My theory on wind and truth-sunlit man reading order debate is that both books can benefit from not having read the other, meaning that its really about which book or aspect of the story that you prioritize
Which is why I I’m personally firmly on the side of reading sunlit man first. The contrast of who Sigzil is now and the dread that the mystery of what happened on roshar leaves building up to wat is one of the best parts of the book. It’s not the only good part but it’s not an aspect that I would trade
#I don’t think wat is drastically improved by not having read sunlit man#because sigzil is such a small part#like yeah it was predictable#but so was adolin#and dalinar#I think that’s just the book#sunlit on the hand is sigzils story#sa5#kowt#cosmere#the sunlit man#sunlit man#ssp4#brandon sanderson#stormlight archive#wind and truth#wat spoilers#wind and truth spoilers
