So, far of the three books that I've read The Way of Kings is still my favorite book and Kaladin is my favorite character. I did enjoy this one more than Words of Radiance because I liked that we got more of the story revealed to us and we got to see more of Shallan and her training to be a radient and Jashna's ward.

I cried when Elokar was lost and his wife was no longer the woman he married and loved. I also cried when he died protecting his son.

I enjoy the depth of the books in this series but at the same time I wish this one was 300 pages shorter. I listened to this on audiobook and Michael Kramer‘s voice did start to great on me after a while and I wish that Kate Reading read the whole book. 

Elhokar’s death seemed unnecessary and he could have been a great character going forward so that was a shame

I’m also starting to get annoyed at Dalinar’s character and wish there were more of the others but this book was his so perhaps that makes sense why, still I want more of all the others and less of him lol

This book is a bop and a half, and while it took me nearly 2 months to finish it was worth every second. So many new questions, so many new characters, and Lift! Gotta love Tight Butt, too. 4.5 stars
