This book is a tad too big, it is not for the faint of heart. I love Stormlight Archive for it's well written action and excellent characters. While the other books had one or two random mentions of a gay relationship, this book explores that to an uncomfortable level. Because of this, I find I no longer care for the characters Renarin and Rlain. I do not approve of these woke moves and was deeply disappointed. More over, while I am very invested in the other characters story, I hesitate to buy the other books once they come out if they have anymore of these progressive moves. I know I am not the only one with this opinion. I also must add that multiple times we are shown some unnecessary very adult and intimate scenes that I was not impressed with.
On a brighter note, I loved all of Dalinar's parts, they were rich and deep-thought provoking as always. His end was as glorious and tear jerking as it was in Oathbringer. Everyone else I enjoyed to varying degrees. I was excited to discover strong connections to Whitesand, Warbreaker, and Mistborn. I loved the continued themes of what is honor, journey before destination, and themes such as redemption and self sacrifice. Without the gay content (which was a betrayal for Sanderson's audience) I love and appreciate most of this story.
