... follow along with who was doing what and the weight of their actions. Specifically during the hunt sequence where they fight off a giant monster and defend their king (Dalinar's nephew). Whilst the sequence itself was cool it lost some impact for me as it bounced between characters I don't really know well as they were only recently introduced. I feel like I should re-read this section to get a better picture,

Spoilers: So a bunch of people were introduced in this last 5% ive listened to. Dalinar is such a sick character - I think his POV will be one we frequent often. His brother (a king) was also killed by an assassin in white, could it be Szeth and that sequence from the prologue? who knows. My only issue with this last part following Dalinar is the amount of people with equally fantasy type names made it hard to...

Spoilers: end of part 1. A solid end where Kaladin finally comes back to himself after being a numb slave for months. He takes charge of his bridge crew and seizes some responsibilities as if it where his old self. 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

Oh shit, spoilers: during Shallan's pov a thought just started that a man in white who was 'shin' called the assassin in white nearly killed her father(who is dead anyway) who I think is Szeth-son-son-Vallano. Shallan reminds me of Tress from the emerald Sea with her whit and self determination. So that begs the question did Szeth kill the king in the prologue and/or is that Shallan's father?
