SO. FREAKING. EPIC.
🌊 This book started a bit slow, in my opinion. I kept thinking how it just didn't feel the same as The Way of Kings. However, as the story continued, the pace started to pick up and the book got more engaging and interesting. The last chapters were so epic! It was awesomeness after awesomeness!!!
🩸 I really loved the interlude chapters in this one. They added a lot of important information to the overall story.
🌈 We learned some weird things in this book.Mateform... I don't know why I find that so gross and disgusting. Of course the Parshendi need to reproduce, but ehhhh. I didn't want to know there were specific Parshendi who took care of that. I also HATE that I learned that Shardbearers shit themselves in their armor. WHY, BRANDON??? And the fact that Shallan was able to continue her date with Adolin after learning that? And felt attracted to him? EWWWW. I caaaaaaaaaan't. I would be so turned off by that.
📜 This book managed to make me laugh out loud and cry real tears. That doesn't happen often. So by that alone, it deserves a million stars. Thank you for making me feel emotions.
🦀 Kaladin was so awesome in this book. HE IS THE BEST CHARACTER EVER CREATED. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He has cemented himself as my favorite character of all time. Other characters should feel ashamed to even exist in their own fictional worlds when Kaladin Stormblessed exists. Seriously. This might even become a problem because now I feel everyone sucks and Kaladin is the only great character.
👑Some of the best parts were:
When he faced the Assassin in White during his first attempt to kill Dalinar. OMG, HE'S SO EPICCCCC. I LOVE YOU, KALADIN.
''Honor is dead, but I'll see that I can do''. ME: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. HE'S SACRIFICING HIMSELF TO PROTECT OTHERS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
When he decided not to kill the King. HE LOVES PROTECTING PEOPLE. HE'S A REAL HERO.
When he flied all the way to the Shattered Plains to protect Dalinar. OH MY GOD.
HE'S THE BEST PERSON EVER. I LOVE HIM. I WILL GIVE MY LIFE FOR HIM.
💫 Unfortunately, I already knew two of the major reveals in this book. Reminder to NEVER Google anything about the series you're currently reading. NEVER. NO MATTER WHAT. So the reveals didn't shock me, but they were so well written, that even though I already knew what was happening, I was able to feel stress, sadness, excitement and everything else.
🌬️ Bottom line: this series is amazing and this book was so great!!!!!!!! I really loved it so much. This is going to sound stupid, but I feel like crying when I think about this series and how amazing it is. I'm already tearing up while writing this review.
