This was probably my least favorite of the Stormlight Archives books so far. That said, a lot of that has to do with my preference not being in reading battle scenes and there is a lot of that here. There are definitely compelling and interesting story lines that for me kind of carried it.
and lets be real I wasn't a super fan of most of the male primary character's motivation being the result of his late wife's pain- there is more to it than that, admittedly, it just felt like the bulk of it was the result of Evi's death.
