Kaladin and Andolin in the 4v2 duel in Words of Radiance is so well written. It’s awesome. And then the way the chapter ends is perfect. Sanderson is a master at building up tension, snowballing it into an amazing payoff and then almost immediately setting up the next conflict.

I just finished Oathbringer yesterday, and there are some damn fine moments in that one. There are no epic ones like the WOR duel, but there are some wonderful character development ones that are super memorable. I'm taking a break and rereading Dracula right now, but I plan to get back to this series immediately afterwards with Dawnshard. Sanderson is masterful at telling a story. Where he lacks in dialogue sometimes he more than makes up for in character development and engaging story telling.
