So many mysteries, so much angst, no easy solutions, but also some truly epic moments. Did not disappoint.

This one seems to be controversial among those who like the series, but it was my favorite. I found it fast paced and loved the exploration of Kaladin’s depression.

I can't believe I was lucky enough to forget half the twists in the ending before rereading this one. What a great book. It's a slow burn, and there's a lot of different threads, but I'll be damned if I wasn't invested in the characters.

This book had so many raw, beautiful moments grappling with mental illness, trauma, and resilience. The actual plot didn’t grab me as much as previous installments did, though, and the Sanderlanche wasn’t quite as explosive as I was expecting.
