This series continues to feel more epic with every instalment. I really enjoy the descriptions of the various surges, particularly the flying battles with

Kaladin/Szeth

. The characters are some of my favourites I’ve read, including their well developed flaws.

While I had started to suspect, the reveal that the humans are the Voidbringers was very impactful, as was Odium’s growing role as a looming figure of destruction.

While the start of the book is a bit slow to reach the parts that feel important to the story, the later parts drive forwards in a way that’s hard to put down.
