I don't need a lot of action to be entertained, but I do need to be engaged and this book did engage, 30% of the time. The rest of the time I was either bored or watching the same things happen to Kaladin for the third time.
I really wanted to love this book. But it was so overhyped, and not at all subtle with any of the elements. I feel bad saying this and thinking this way becasue I love Mistborn, but I can't deny this was not for me.
Before you come with pitchforks remember this is my opinion and I don't fault you for liking this book, but I personally will not be returning to this series. It's too redundant and slow for me, especially because hardly anything happened and the characters were essentially the same people that they started as. And after 1000+ pages I can't justify that.

I loved the variety of characters that we followed, each with their distinct personality and tone. On to book two!
