and, thank fucking god, the love triangle (i think) is dissolved. words cannot express how much i dislike that trope, and i am so relieved it was shallan and adolon together. kaladin deserves a happy ending, of course, but it was not with shallsn.
once again, the world building in this book is INSANE. sometimes, the words and writing are averagely impressive, if not just plain average, though i am not denying sometimes sanderson's syntax and metaphor are occasionally very striking. however, the world building is consistently beautiful and intricate, leaving expectation fulfilled in every succeeding book. the added humor in the writing also is a nice refresher, considering some of the heavy arcs the characters go through.
the spren bonds with the radiants remind me of soul eater weapons and meisters. i love that. they're my favorite part of this series.
so many questions. some answers. so much anticipation.
incredible book.
