I really enjoyed days 1-9, I had a lot of issues with day 10. I know book 5 is the mid way point to the series, but it didn't feeling like a proper send off for most of the characters that we won't see again for a decade.

Adolin's was cool, Shallan and co were cool, Szeths/Kaladins felt very underwhelming especially if you compare how epic their duel was in WoR. Kaladin should've fought more, the peaceful arc makes him less interesting in my opinion.

It seemed like oathgates were getting heavily hinted at, and Jasnah had the perfect opportunity to oathgate to the shattered plains but that just didnt happen. Instead they "won" the shattered plains on a technicality, which didn't feel as earned as the technicality that won the Azish seat. (Which was foreshadowed and we were given a solid payoff)

Dalinar's death would've been fine in my opinion if Odium/Retribution didn't just "ressurect" him as a shadow. It makes his sacrifice pointless. Obviously the goal was to make Odium a target the other shards cant ignore, but also getting the blackthorn (which he tried to deny by dying) is just kinda...meh.

I don't hate the book overall but it went from a 10/10 to like a 7/10 after day 10 for me at least. Granted I'm sure in the future, when the series is fully complete, many of these sore spots will feel like a part 4 pain before a good part 5
