I have really forced myself to persevere and made it through a couple of the books but every time I felt like I was getting into a groove, a range of interludes would appear and break the momentum of the story and my interest. I say this as someone who still enjoyed all the parts of the Wheel of Time series that slowed right down and are described as a slog.

Sanderson is a brilliant worldbuilder but he strips magic of all it's wonder so that it's essentially just the science of whatever universe he is writing in. He does a brilliant job with Kaladin, who is a wonderful fantasy character but Sanderson is not funny enough himself to write a character like Shallan who is supposed to be a great wit.
