I've been putting off reviewing this because I'm truly divided on my feelings. 

To start with a positive, I really enjoyed reading this giant book. This expansive, interconnected universe of worlds is everything I've always wanted from a book series. It's why I started reading the Cosmere in the first place. This huge tome of a book just adds to that greater whole, and it's better for it. As a pseudo conclusion, I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it was satisfying to consume. 

However, I'm ultimately disappointed in the execution. What happened to subtlety in storytelling? When every theme and emotion of a story is fully spelled out and constantly repeated, you close the door to interpretation and introspection. It excludes the element of human complexity that makes fiction its own art. This feels too influenced by self-help books and picture books. As if it's not adult fantasy anymore, but some family-friendly Marvel flop. Simplified for the masses and politically correct. Now, as much as I want to nitpick every cringe moment and pedantic mental deficiency inclusion, I just don't have the time. Plus, my biggest gripe was that one Jasnah chapter, and that's not even a big part of the book. 

Overall, I did like this book. It may not sound like it, but I did. My feelings are just complicated and can't be fully summed up with trite rhetoric.
