Finished this morning. Enjoyed significantly more than Oathbringer.

Not sure how Shallan annoyed so many when she isn't present for large chunks of the novel. I'm glad Sanderson showed that he's ready to wrap up the split personality thing. But I thought the journey into Shadesmar was really interesting.

This was Kaladin's Order of the Phoenix. It's hard to pull off the whiny hero who needs to grow successfully, and Sanderson fell short here. Yeah, the final 150 pages are great, and Kaladin is great in them, but damn.

Loved the Navani/Raboniel conflict.

Man, I could not disagree more. I love this series but this book was a fricking slog for large parts of it. And it didn't even really come together that much in the end.

It was largely boring in areas with going over board on the science of fabrials and so on, and the early parts with Kaladin and with Shallan's different struggles were a chore.

Still love this series but this one was by far my least favorite.

I really look forward to finally really seeing Shinovar in book 5.

And what Taravangian/Odium did to Wit is extremely disturbing...
