Part 4: That was insane! I'm not sure at what point something changed but now I'm enjoying Dalinar's story almost as much as Kaladin's. It was great to see the two of them finally join up at the end of this section. The last few chapters of this part are so exciting and crazy and I was gripped, wanting to know what happens next. I want to know so much more about the Parshendi.

Part 3: Something crazy would have to happen for me not to give this book five stars, I'm loving it! It was nice to get back to Shallan's story in this part. I could happily continue to read about her adventures as Jasnah's ward and Kaladin's adventures in bridge four, but obviously we are now moving on to the next part of the story. The excerpts from Kaladin's past seem to have caught up with where we met him.

Part 2: I missed Shallan's point of view in this section. I'm really enjoying Kaladin 's story though; Sil intrigues me and I love her character. Dalinar and Adolin's part of the story frequently confuses me, but is also enjoyable. The interludes are from different points of view and seem really random, but I'm assuming they will become important knowledge and make more sense at some point.

Part 1: It took me a few chapters from each characters' perspectives to get invested in their respective stories, but now I am very intrigued by Kaladin and Shallan and their stories. I love all the cool creatures, plants and especially the Spren. So far I'm finding the writing much more lyrical than the Mistborn trilogy which I'm enjoying.

I love the way that Shallan's drawing is described, it's beautiful.
