Perhaps I misunderstood the first chapter of the third book, included at the end of the second. It's been a while, so I don't remember names, but the old grizzled Warrior dude whose brother was killed at the beginning of the first book and who spent the next two books torturing himself about it, is shown as a younger man completing one of his many conquests. I had read that the third book was " his story" , and subsequent books would be the stories of the other main characters. I admit I didn't read to find out

Ya, I think you misunderstood - he has said that each book sort of focuses on one character's story primarily (while still having other viewpoints) but it is all in the same timeline / service to the primary story taking forth.

They don't jump backwards in time and focus on the life story of specific characters.

Every book has flashbacks for important characters. Book 1 had Kaladin flashbacks. 2, Shallan. Book 3 had Dalinar flashbacks...which are probably the best ones.

I do agree that Rhythm of War was a chore at times, and I love this series. It took me FOREVER to get really into RoW. I really don't need that level of minutae with fabrials.
