This one took me a while to complete, but it was entirely worth it. While the pacing was a little slower than previous books in the series, especially in the beginning, the end 150 pages is packed with so many revelations and emotional surprises. It took me a long time to enjoy the Venli POV's but at the end, I definitely was reading them with as much interest as the other sections. I particularly enjoyed the character development of Kaladin and Shallan and their struggles at balancing who they are perceived as with the trauma that they are dealing with. In addition, I loved the added depth we got of Adolin's character, even if that storyline kind of was dropped toward the end of the book--here's hoping it will be picked up in the next one!
