Well, this was definitely emotional. Holy fucking shit. I was brought to complete sobbing multiple goddamn times, once literally within the same ~20 page span. Goddamn it Sanderson.
Also excuse me?? So much is happening I feel like I am going to go insane - that fucking epilogue?! The audacity of writers I swear to god. Also I knew vaguely that Wit told a story about a dog and a dragon but holy shit I was not expecting that chapter to go so hard. Actually, I think I broke down into near delirious crying over each of the main perspective characters at least once in this. What an achievement.

I do not necessarily feel smart enough to understand these books, that was one of the main reasons I avoided reading these until now. I didn't think I would be able to follow what was happening, and I am definitely not catching all of it but my god I am having a fucking wonderful time. It's horrifying to me that it's like, less than 2 weeks until book 5 comes out and also that I have finished the Stormlight Archive the same week I finished all the Dragon Age games but hey, what a ride.
