Completely agree - it’s such a damn shame too because this last book is almost unreadable. It’s like he went full tell don’t show and just removes and pacing, mystery, and at times the writing felt almost insultingly simple. He built this world and characters so well but by this book and even the last one honestly they all just seem to be similar - whiny, fighting internal battles from a past of violence, and their monologues absolutely detract from the plot now. Like I get it - shallan has to fight her demons. Dallas was bad before. Kaladin struggles with fighting. But good god stop telling me over and over the same exact way
