  1. Rhythm of War: Relationships For me, RoW was one of Brandon's most volatile SA books. I still think it was a strong entry into the SA but I do feel that It was a little all over the place. I agree with @CaptainRyan, Brandon maybe needs to reevaluate how he treats a SA book and the direction he plans to take the series as a whole. I think Brandon has restricted himself by committing to such a complex, intricate and in-depth arc in 5 books. Huge story plots points and character development areas are being skipped over or ignored as a result of trying to fit the Stormlight archives storyline with the greater Cosmere. Kaladin and relationships: I don't understand why Kaladins relationships are all happening off-page. Like Kaladin and Lyn? We see no hint of a connection between them in OB but then we find out a year later then suddenly got together after the end of OB so what? was this Kaladin trying to get over Shallan and Lyn was like a rebound hence why it didn't work out? We have no idea how Kaladin feels about Shallan, yes at the end of OB he says that she's chosen Adolin but feelings don't just disappear and Syl was pushing for Shallan and Kaladin to at least talk. For me, the fact that Shallan and Adolins wedding happened off-page was also a huge mistake. It was a perfect time to further develop the relationship of Kal, Adolin and Shallan and get into Kals and Shallans heads to see how they really felt about the whole thing. I fully appreciate that romance is not the main aim of these books but relationships are an integral part of being Human and I just don't understand why key relationship events like the wedding were skipped over. I think events like these are key to show that the characters are still trying to live lives in the middle of desolations. For the majority of the books, we see the characters having to deal with hardships, fighting, and betrayal. Events such as the wedding or even Jas's coronation are, in my opinion, just as important as seeing Kaladin fight the fused.
