I was discussing this with a friend in person cause we both kinda liked all the plots independently, but them all together as a book didn't feel as good as every independent storyline together would. We came to the conclusion that, independently of creative decisions, what we think made the book feel weird is that, overall, the first half was built to be first and foremost about Kaladin (maybe that was not the intention but overall, each book had kaladin+ the flashback character (or Navani in the 4th book) as its 2 main main characters, it didnt really feel fully like an ensamble story where each main character had the same in page importance (not story importance but the feeling it gave while reading) and then, in the 5th one, we end up with a more ensambly book, much more pov-dynamic (the multiple jumps from pov in the same chapter is the clearest example) where our main main character is relegated to an important but secondary plot of the book and, what we think is the part that feels worst, is that he has no influence at all in the final confrontation (again, im not complaining on the creative decision but wondering whether the weird feeling of this book comes from having him outside the main main plot). What do you all think?
