I finally finished Words of Radiance after literally 5 years of stops and starts. Various reasons why that was but I loved it in the end. Somewhere in the middle of all that I went back and read Warbreaker but had the connection spoiled for me right after. I didn't really like Warbreaker
Anyway I really have enjoyed Stormlight a lot. It can be a bit overwhelming with the lore at times but I got through Malazan, so I feel I can handle anything thrown at me at this point.
I'm also consistently reminded how much better Brandon's writing is since he tackled the Wheel of Time. I always found Mistborn a bit lacking (especially the raw prose) and Warbreaker was pretty woeful imo. But he did a phenomenal job with WoT; and Stormlight, despite being so wildly ambitious, always feels like it has such a sure hand guiding you. I haven't read Mistborn era 2 yet but I'll get to it once I've read Edgedancer and Oathbringer. Hopefully they won't take me 5 years, but journey before destination and all that!
except for Vasher and Nightblood, so I guess it worked out in the end!
Still totally in love with Kaladin and his storyline. Enjoyed Shallan - especially her backstory. Her main story was a bit convenient in places, but she's a fun character. Incredibly excited for more Jasnah though. I was gutted she was barely in this one. Obviously the cover of Oathbringer basically spoiled her fate a bit, but I never really thought she was actually dead. Also hyped to get Dalinar's back story finally!
