How long does it take to read Oathbringer?

At 1,248 pages, Oathbringer is a doorstopper. Expect about 22 hours 40 minutes of reading to finish it, based on 250 words per page and an average reading speed of 230 words per minute. A fast reader will go quicker; a careful read (or reading in a second language) will take longer.

At 30 minutes a day, that is about 46 days of reading. At the median pace of Vread readers, 72 pages per reading day, it takes 18 reading days.

In Vread, Oathbringer is split into 46 checkpoints, one every 27 pages or so. At each checkpoint, a question covers the passage you have just read: a correct answer validates the step, and your progress moves forward like a training plan.

The challenge: validate all 46 checkpoints through to the last page. No giant quiz at the end, no summary to copy out: short questions along the way that prove the book was actually read. It also works as a reading quiz to check your understanding before a test.

Also available in French on Vread.

The answer is in the text: reply in the app.

This is not a question from Oathbringer: to avoid spoilers, the real questions stay in the app.

Answer in the app, one checkpoint at a time.
