I'm loving this.
I think the only things that I'm not enjoying are the narration (which I knew was subpar after listening to the first book) and the rapid development of Shallan's character. I just find some of the events hard to believe with regards to her character. I also cringe a bit every time Kal has an existential crisis about keeping his men safe. Otherwise, it's great.

Still really enjoying this story. I'm becoming more and more invested and find the world fascinating. Brandon Sanderson is an excellent author, but I feel like the one area where his writing isnt as strong is characters. Dont get me wrong, each character is distinct, you understand their motivations, they have depth...but there are also some very black and white elements that make them feel clumsy and less realistic.
