I STRUGGLED through this book!
Up until this one I blasted through the stormlight archive but this book just felt so incredibly slow. Perhaps a part of the problem was other books on my shelf I wanted to read as well but who knows.
Yes, this book is dark, it's grim and all of the above. But this is the first book that genuinly explores the psychological aspects of these characters. We see Shallan, Kaladin and Teft truly struggle with their demons and I feel that Brandon portrayed this really well!
At first I contemplated If this book should even get 4 stars but those last 200 pages truly changed everything. Everything Brandon has spent 1200 pages building up aligned in those last 200. Fantastic writing but you almost lost me during the journey.
4.75/5 ⭐
