The Stormlight Archive continues to be such a well written series with an epic heroes' journey that dares to ask questions like "isn't it fucked up to put some guy in a situation? Is God available for a fight in a Denny's parking lot at 3 a.m.? Crabs?" Though I wish this specific book had more Shallan and Adolin (weird considering Shallan is on the cover) and I found the pacing off.
This book fed us Kaladin stans though, he's my poor little meow meow and this book was HEAVILY focused on his arc, especially his trauma and depression. Because of the focus on Kal, Syl gets a significant focus in proximity. This book also worked on expanding on a lot of the world building, fleshing out the magic systems and the politics of this world. And like the other Stormlight books, this was compulsively readable despite its length.
And with that, I'm finally caught up with the Stormlight Archive. This series was a commitment that paid off. The books are large because they are jammed pack with fantasy of truly epic proportions.
