4/5
While I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books of SLA, I find myself in a weird in-between position with Oathbringer.
I did enjoy it. It was a bit of a trek, though. There in the middle I felt like we were getting a little bogged down, and like a lot of other Sanderson's tomes, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think this could have been trimmed some... however, the high points of this book are some of my favorite in the series so far... So, I'm torn. I still think the book is great, and I'm glad I read it. But if I am being 100% honest, I struggled at several portions to stay fully engaged. It took much longer to read because of that. That being said, when it started going, it went! There are plenty of lore aspects taht I am curious about.
This has probably been my least favorite Sanderlanche, too, which I am normally in love with. The Dalinar story was strong throughout. The Kaladin one was strong early, a little bit at the end, but I honestly thought there would have been more. Shallan was, well, Shallan. I didn't love her in WoK but I did really enjoy her in WoR. So, definitely a Dalinar book, which is fine. I did like those key moments with him. All in all, I'm glad I read it; however, I am probably taking a break from SLA for a good little while.
