This book has great moments: Urithiru's exploration, the Kholinar situation, Wit's awesomeness, unexpected deaths, Lift, and (like any Sanderson novel) an epic ending.
Still, it was way too long and for me, it didn't add much (with the exception of a couple of chapters) for Dalinar's backstory that hadn't been said before.
It is a great book, just the weakest of the three, IMO.

The illustrations are beautiful. The fairytales and Tiên's story are blended charmingly. Cutest thing I’ve read in a long time.

This is hard for me to review as the last 30% was exciting, but for the most part, it dragged. Overall, I enjoyed The Way of Kings more than this book, even when I love Shallan and it features her backstory.
An important character’s death happens suddenly and unceremoniously.Which hints that it may not be definitive.
Some thoughts about characters (with spoilers):
I found <b>Tyn</b> dispensable and her arc rushed. She was just a tool for Shallan to get more skills and facilitate her entry to the Ghostbloods.
<b>Eshonai</b>’s chapters were boring and having more than one in her stormform was unnecessary.
<b>Navani</b> goes into the background after getting her man.
F*ckboy <b>Adolin</b> may redeem himself with Shallan. They were really cute, but Adolin still needs to grow.
Right now, I stand for the <b>Kaladin + Shallan</b> ship. They understand and challenge each other.
I’m intrigued to know how the love triangle develops.
<b>Dalinar</b> was my favorite character in the first book and I wanted to see more about him here. At least he still got an extraordinary ending.
