Another incredible book, Sanderson is in the pantheon of fantasy writers, I can't wait until book 5 comes out. This is the first time since a Way of Kings that I actually felt like our main characters were in true danger and it really enhances the story. While some of the flashback chapters are a bit excessive, they do help to paint a fuller picture of the non-human main characters which I'm sure will continue to pay off. While I think it's overall the "weakest" book in the Stormlight Archives this far, it's still a masterclass in fantasy storytelling.

Reread - This book is exceptional. It sets the series up for either a phenomenal ending or a terrible crash. Don't let us down, Brandon.

Kaladin’s struggle against depression is handled so wonderfully, it was really inspiring to see him deal with it.
