Initially, with only being viewed through the perspective of the Idrians, the Hallandrens are a people of frivolity, who worshiping a blasphemous religion. Interestingly, I enjoyed how the veil of secrecy surrounding these ‘Gods’ was lifted in by inch throughout this book as we learned intimately about them, even being fortunate enough to be gifted a POV from one of them, Lightsong. Very quickly upon starting this novel I became enamored of this unique literary world in which ‘magic’ is measured in breaths that makes or breaks the resident ‘Gods’, as well as establishing social status among the Hallandrens. As the characters in question are set up in this most recent series to play larger roles I knew reading up on their backstory would likely prove worthwhile and bring clarity to their involvement in Oathbringer. One of my fellow bloggers thankfully pointed out that three intriguing characters in The Stormlight Archive who actually originated in Warbreaker. Having completed and thoroughly fan-girled over the The Stormlight Archive, I quickly moved on to his Mistborn Trilogyin an attempt to identify the Easter Eggs that Sanderson sprinkles throughout his literature, ultimately connecting his worlds. I’m still on a major Sanderson kick at this point and after Warbreaker, I do not foresee my fascination waning in the near future.
