Volveré mañana cuando pueda resumir mis sentimientos pero de algo estoy segura. Este libro me dio una catarsis tremenda, no puedo esperar al final y Brandon más te vale dejar que Kaladin sobreviva.

I think I found it slow because there was a lot of "behind the scenes" activity. Like sneaking around, collusion, strategy, uncovering secrets, etc. Very much thinky thoughts. There were fight scenes ofc, but I think there was more character growth happening, which I really liked !! (Ngl there were some Kaladin lines that were like very obviously ✨inspiring✨ on purpose and they were very cheesy. But I ate that shit up bc I love Kaladin.)
I did cry in part one when
Moash fucking tried to convince Kaladin to kill himself
But of course by the end it wasnt TOO devastating; there were hopeful tones despite the impending suffering that I am bracing myself for.....
To end on a good note, some random things that made me happy:
-Kaladin and Adolin. Yeah.
-That scene at the tavern or something where Veil says she likes stupid women. Canon bi character hello???
-Aspec Jasnah !!!!!!!! I called it since WoK !!!!
-Kaladin finally getting some goddamn therapy
-Last but not least, can we all agree that GAGADIN was the cutest thing to ever happen??????
