I wasn’t gripped by this book until the every end, but man what a good book looking back. Just long af and as with the other books, it’s hard to see where the book is heading, so not as gripping

Second time reading this through and enjoyed it much more the second time.

the deaths in the last part the first time around were hard for me to get past

. Sanderson makes very realistic characters. Which is great. But also frustrating because you want all the characters mental illnesses to be better and hate they are dealing with the same issues over and over. Love his books can't wait for the next ones.

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

This series is a wonderful exploration of humanity while still being a great and thrilling read. Especially book 3 and 4 have shown why Brandon Sanderson is an excellent author - they really show his genius in writting. I also love how diverse the cast is, representing different ethnicities, genders, sexualites and mental illnesses. Sure, it is frusterating that they are not as well represented in the earlier books, but with this series it felt more like a natural part of getting to know the characters better, than anything else.
