I think I'm going to double down strongly on my opinion that these books are unnecessarily long. I understand the sentiment that the book is rich in details and interesting too but I honestly think the plot moves slow for its own good. The avalanche at the end is always thrilling, of course, but it shouldn't be a dredge to get there and sometimes, Stormlight Archive books feel like that.

HOLY FUCKING DAMNATION!!!

WHAAAAAAAATTTTTT?

OMFG! The implications of this. Holy shit!

The characters' interactions are unrealistic, even dumb. I mean, I'm an introvert and I talk sparingly, so I can understand people not conversing too much. But if I'm thrown into a different fucking realm of existence with a couple of my friends and strangers, I'd fucking like to TALK about what the eff is happening. Nobody asks Shallan. And Shallan doesn't say much.

I think I know who Azure might be, but how??!

Fuck!!! Wrong time for interludes!!!!! Aaaargghh!

I can sense that the battle is going to be taken to a whole new level. Or at least I hope that's how the follow up scenes are.

Skeletons in the closet.

I wish SA books were fast-paced OR that they had more/consistent Cosmere-related information and links.

The problem with huge plots like Cosmere is that sometimes, when we have the actual scale of the plot for this universe fresh in mind, all trivial scenes in individual books seem like an annoyance. I'm finding it more so after binge reading Cosmere, leaving SA for the last which I'm sorta beginning to regret.

Shallan is outta control!
