I really wanted to love this book - while there are absolutely great highs, I think Wind and Truth contains the most concentrated amount of the things I try to ignore when reading Stormlight.
The characters are the highlight of the book, but I still found myself getting annoyed with how blatant and on the nose some of these lines are. Kaladin should not be talking about therapy. I think there’s a lot of random one off lines that completely take me out of the story if not make me grimace somewhat.
I also think that the pacing and near complete separation of these arcs is a great disservice in a lot of aspects. I Love the character interactions we get in these books, but everyone was essentially quarantined to their own little group for the entire story. I understand that it had to work that way for the structure to play out as it did, but perhaps the structure wasn’t the best medium for the story.
Jasnah also put up a very weak argument and that just felt unsatisfying to me. I wish we could have gotten more cool Taravangian scenes, but as it stands, I almost feel less scared of him as Odium then I was of him as a mortal.
