Thoughts
Good morning. Finished the 4th Stormlight Archive book. Probably 3 stars.
I’ll give it 4, just because the pieces were mostly there. It was just very drawn out. I started rooting for Kaladian to collapse and die so that it could be over.
It deals with mental health a lot, and I think Sanderson does a decent job of writing those characters. Better than some books for sure. But then, it doesn’t deal with those issues. We don’t get to see the process of overcoming and healing from those issues.
No, I’m giving it three. I could have stopped reading halfway through and it would have been totally fair.
The whole book just feels like it’s treading water but I can’t tell if that’s because it’s switching between 9 POVs (not an exaggeration) or if it’s because the characters are actually treading water. I wish I could read the book from the perspective of one character at a time.
