Another great book in this series, although I enjoy reading it there parts of the book felt little repetitive and boring. I would have to rank this third in the series after WOK. Some of my favorites part of the book is:

1. Kaladin going back home to save his family, where finally to comfort the death of his younger brother and happen to meet his new brother. Everyone recognize that he is now a light-eyes.
2.Shallan meeting Wit (Hoid) learn how really ancient he really is and some of his background.
3.Jasnah meeting Amaram in the library to see more about her past shown and her emotion on the subject of marriage.
4. Danilar at the RIFT committing war crimes: the action he took, was definitely something I did not see coming.
5. Danilar meeting the night mother shown so munch lore of the other religion parts.
6. The realization of the human were the voidbringers and not the parishdens truly shocking revelation that was foreshadowing how everything in Roshar did not seem naturally suited for normal humans.
7. Elokah almost being a Raidant and dying at battle

I enjoyed getting back into The Stormlight Archives and following the characters from the first two books again. I loved the character development we got to see for Shallan and I felt with all of the characters - though this time I think I felt especially with Dalinar. One of the reasons why I gave this 4.5 instead of 5 stars is that I think the battle took way too long. This series is still one of the best I've read so far.
I'm also really looking forward to read more by Brandon Sanderson.
