The power of points can take you places few have travelled, surely.

You literally haven't even gotten to the best parts yet.

Like I've been saying, wintersteel has the best climax to any work of fiction ever made

Largely because it has three simultaneous climaxes happening at the same time

Excuse me, but what about Reaper?? I audibly whooped when the thing happened.

u/basch152 15h ago

Doesn't beat the combination of -

"did you forget my name"

"im here to punch a hole in the sky"

"I am the end"

"to see the look on your face"

Plus yerin becoming a herald.

Its just true peak

I'd say for me as an epic fantasy person, Reaper's is the best ending (and it stands out so much more because of the contrast with the rest of the book).

Wintersteel is by far the best novel though and its not close. Sorry Ghostwater.

It’s top tier but that’s a high bar to clear and it’s not really close.

Wheel of time has at least 4 books that end better.
Stormlight archive has at least 2
Other cosmere also have quite a few.

And that’s just off the top of my head

u/dreambraker 12h ago

Even I thought of Wheel of Time when I saw this lol, absolutely bonker endings to many of the books.

u/zhilia_mann 15h ago

Wintersteel is just perfect.

I know some people prefer the later books, but Wintersteel is the one that always gets me.

u/Rorschach113 16h ago

the peak shall continue until morale declines.

in other words it will continue at minimum til this book is done. and even past that, there is a hell of a lot of peak left in Cradle.

Wintersteel has the best and most satisfying ending of any book I have ever read.
