Oathbringer

Wow. This was a ... commitment. As in, a mega-long book. But what else could I expect from Brandon Sanderson?

For the sake of my attention span, I wish it had been broken up into at least two books. But I did quite enjoy it; it's satisfying to get more and more answers that build the puzzle of Roshar and its history. There was some fascinating character growth, particularly for Dalinar and Shallan, and as always, Sanderson slips in delightful nuggets of wisdom (some of which I've included in the highlights). I continue to be amazed by the detail and sheer imagination that goes into this series. I maintain that Sanderson is an absolute genius.

The parts that lost me are the parts that always do... I get easily bored by the political conversations (hate me a game of Risk), and drawn-out battles lose my attention in books as much as they do in movies.

Now I need a rest from The Stormlight Archive – but I am looking forward to the next two after I recover!
