Just finished my third read of this book and it's just as good every time. The first time through, I was just trying to keep up with the story. The second time through I was busy being surprised by all the details and foreshadowing I didn't catch my first time through, and I was able to begin enjoying Shallan's character more since I was kind of bored by her in books one and two my first time through. In this read, I enjoyed being able to relax into the story more fully, and I found myself appreciating Adolin more than I have in the past.
Kaladin is still 100% my favorite, though.
