A really interesting premise but it was just too many books in one to keep my attention. 

Bouncing between two stories, interesting in their own way but that hadn’t yet come together just distracted me from both of them. 

I either wanted to stay with Kaladin and his story although the slavery I could have done without. Or with Szeth because his magic was cool af and the assassin stuff was very well written and dynamic. I wasn’t into Shallan’s story line so much at first because it moved so slowly but I also wanted to see her steal that soul-caster thing and if she could get her family out of trouble. 

All that to say, there’s a bunch of stuff in this mammoth of a book to keep you interested if you like war, magic, thievery, etc. but my goodness, 1200 pages is just too much. Couldn’t hang. I’d watch the movie though if that ever happens.
