Some crazy fights have been happening as well as reveals.

***SPOILER***

SHALLAN KILLED HER MOTHER??? HER FATHER TOOK THE BLAME??? THATS WHY HE NEVER HURT SHALLAN. THESE ARE SOME CRAZY SHALLAN FLASHBACKS. I love how her story revolves around a dark past and how she pushes down the negative and even copes through tough times by using her sense of humor.

The showdown between Kaladin and Szeth was LEGENDARY too.

IT CLICKED
THIS BOOK IS HEAT
My expectations for this book were super high and for most of the first 1000 pages it was not clicking with me. Now every chapter is heat.

*** SPOILERS ***
A heart-to-heart between Kaladin and Shallan occurred, the two growing together through humor and empathy deep in the Shattered Plains.
tbt 1 year ago SHALLAN KILLED FATHER...BUT SHE ACTUALLY POISONED HIM THEN STRANGLED HIM???

This book is like actually boring. Even the exciting parts are a little boring. Its like "woah, a reveal happened...okay" and I shrug it off. I have read slow pacing for 1100 pages of tWoK and the pacing has been relatively slow for 800 pages of this. When will stuff actually pick up.

ADOLIN HAS POOPED HIMSELF ON THE BATTLEFIELD

I thought this book would be fast paced all the way through, but just like the Way of Kings, I am still waiting for the plot to pick up. I'm not a fan of Shallan's story (because Jasnah carried it last book) although her flashbacks are intriguing. Kaladin and Dalinar's joint storyline is not really that interesting either. Maybe I just need to be more patient. Or maybe I just need to read something more binge-able.
