Dear friends, I have made the decision to make the move to the story graph instead of goodreads as my daily book log. I will only be updating goodreads after the fact with what I have in the story log as it is a much superior reading tool. Goodreads has gone too long without basic functionality which TSG offers seamlessly - I would implore you to make the move too but understand any reservations. It's easy tho..

Major spoilers: what an oddly revealing chapter. Now I don't usually enjoy being told instead of shown what is going on but the density of this book I appreciate it.

Spoilers: end of part 1. A solid end where Kaladin finally comes back to himself after being a numb slave for months.

Shallan has successfully secured wardship under Jasnah who was reluctant at first but broke under Shallan's persistence. Keen to see how the story progresses with such a broad setup of plotlines
