I think this is my favorite so far in the series. The character development, plot twists, and grand finale were so well done. I didn’t know how I’d like the focus on Dalinar since I enjoyed Kaladin and Shallan’s perspectives more in previous books but his backstory ended up being very compelling. This didn’t make a 5 star rating for me just because the pacing didn’t feel very consistent, there were some exciting parts throughout but a lot that dragged for me, and it took me almost 5 weeks to finish. I wish the drama of the last part was extended a bit into the other parts more. There’s a lot I could say about the individual plots and characters (just a few notes: Lift’s appearance/knowledge was strange and kind of unfounded despite her having a whole novella; Shadesmar was a huge drag) but I’ll leave it at that. Very interested to see where book four goes after that ending!

And it's like how can I possibly keep writing 5 star reviews, this man DOES NOT MISS. Dalinar's internal monologue at the end was fucking everything. And, though I do profess to love a bad boy, am so happy Adolin and Shallan stay together. Can't wait for rhythm of war ❤️

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