Oathbringer

What I liked: Dalinar's backstory was impeccable. The events that took place in his past, the mistakes he made, the tyrant he was, shedding light on all of it added so much depth to his characterization. I'll admit, Dalinar's not a character I particularly cared for in this series despite him being one of the MCs, because there's this holier-than-thou edge to his demeanour that makes me cringe at times. But his backstory definitely broke this opinion I had of him, and while I'm still not as invested in him as characters like Kaladin or Jasnah, I appreciate him a lot more now.

What I didn't like: I don't know if it's just me, but the bulk of this book seemed to be filled with repetitive navel-gazing.

Considering how much I loved the previous two books in the Stormlight Archive, my disappointment of this alone would have inclined me to give this 2 stars. But I can't deny the other merits of this book that I didn't go over in this review, so I'll leave my rating at 3 stars for now.
