This is a case of an ultimately very good book being brought down a bit by an ending that I didn't love. To avoid spoilers, I just felt that a lot of things happened that were not properly set up to feel earned. Besides that, however, I loved the character arcs in this book the most of the series so far. We really explored the world more, which is fantastic.

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.
