Another spectacular entry in the Stormlight Archive from Brandon Sanderson although this was probably my least favorite of the four released so far. I was not a big fan of flashbacks with Venli and Eshonai and I would have preferred another character (maybe Navani or Raboniel?). I think some of the other characters took a big back seat in this book that I enjoy specifically, Shallan and Dalinar. I get that they each had their books already but there just was not a whole lot happening to them as characters in this book.

The best thing about this book was the worldbuilding and the Cosmere implications that result from some of the discoveries made by Navani and Raboniel. Another great part of this book is Kaladin's arc who had the best arc of everyone in the book.

I am super pumped for book five which will end this first arc of the Stormlight Archive! While this was my least favorite of the series so far, it was probably necessary to set up a lot of things for book five.
