The final book of the first half of Stormlight Archive

The world in Stormlight Archive is an interesting one and we really start to see the larger Cosmere in this book. The world building is expanded nicely with both new things and also getting an history lessons of important events on Roshar. Along with the world building is the character development really good and feels natural. And I really enjoyed the story arc with Kaladin and Szeth, to bee fair Kaladin is probably my favorite character in this series. Alodin is another character that I really enjoyed the journey of in this book, with his defense of Azimir, and how that changes him.

This book ends the first story arc of the Stormlight Archive and it manages to tie up quite a few story arches nicely while also setting up quite a few other story lines to be continued in the next arc. I'm really looking forward to see how the surprises at the end of the story plays out in the Cosmere.
