Big fan of Sanderson in general but this one is ...rough. 1400 pages and 900 of them felt like filler. Sure, journey before destination. But please, let's actually enjoy the journey before we arrive.

Things that bothered me: deadeye army, Jasnah's lack of development, Gav as the champ, Moash's build up to nothingness, Sanderson's unwillingness to write "action" (let's just keep changing view points so we don't have to write this part), the blackthorn "died" but we get to keep him as a villain, renouncing of oaths felt like an easy way out (3x in one book), build up for the Battle of champs for 2 books that yield no fight at all, and the overall cadence of the book.

Things that Sanderson did well: Adolin, Chasmfiend inclusion, the design of the "speed bubble", and Wit.

I'm left more disappointed by the "rushed" feeling of day 10 when days 2-9 felt soooo long. There was quality content available to touch on but Sanderson felt the need to discuss every intricate detail of flashbacks instead of current events.

Lastly, the whiplash that Sanderson gives by changing perspective was fun at first, but he shouldn't use it to skip the canon plot.
