The callbacks. The payoffs. I can see the weakness in the handling of the flashback povs, but understand how deeply necessary the perspectives are to the overarching narrative rhythm. And I would follow Navani Kholin down any academic rabbit hole.

This one might be the better books in the series for me.
Largely solved my issues with the last one and the stakes got a lot more personal again. I loved the mental health journeys that Shallan and Kaladin went on. Still didn't quite hit like the first two, although I have high expectations that book 5 will be pretty epic.
Sidenote: This might be the first book I've read to have an explicitly asexual character. Pretty cool, and frankly a good move for Sanderson who can't write romance or sexual tension to save his life. I wish all his characters were ace.
