Another excellent story, I do wish it was a tad shorter, like maybe 200 pages less, otherwise, very keen to see how the rest of this story unfolds.

This book has great moments: Urithiru's exploration, the Kholinar situation, Wit's awesomeness, unexpected deaths, Lift, and (like any Sanderson novel) an epic ending.

Still, it was way too long and for me, it didn't add much (with the exception of a couple of chapters) for Dalinar's backstory that hadn't been said before.

It is a great book, just the weakest of the three, IMO.
