This book is even better the second time around and the narration is great as usual.

I just...I have no words. The last little bit was such a roller coaster. This series is amazing, everyone needs to read it.

I definitely enjoyed this one, but it was a bit of a struggle to get into it for me. Shallan and Dalinar were both exhausting to read for 75% of the story, which sucked because they were probably the major POV characters for this one. I did like where they ended up in the end though. The last ~200 pages were excellent and flew by, so it was definitely worth reading to me!
