The care, thought, and joy that went into the hard themes presented in this fantasy book detailing mental health has left me speechless. In more than one place in this book, I was left weeping from being happily moved. I cannot recommend this enough.

This one took me a while to complete, but it was entirely worth it. While the pacing was a little slower than previous books in the series, especially in the beginning, the end 150 pages is packed with so many revelations and emotional surprises. It took me a long time to enjoy the Venli POV's but at the end, I definitely was reading them with as much interest as the other sections. I particularly enjoyed the character development of Kaladin and Shallan and their struggles at balancing who they are perceived as with the trauma that they are dealing with. In addition, I loved the added depth we got of Adolin's character, even if that storyline kind of was dropped toward the end of the book--here's hoping it will be picked up in the next one!
