RoW is surprisingly self contained for being the fourth book in an epic fantasy series. I’d say you should be fine (anything that’s super important he tends to work back into the plot anyway) tho I am biased and know I’m in the minority from what I’ve seen of everyone praising oathbringer, but it’s actually my least favorite one 🫣
