I am listening to WoK on audible now and it has changed my perspective a bit. The first time I read the book, Shallan was a fun character that offered a more intimate view of some of the worlds troubles. How religion affects the people and the different governments, shown to us in a way that wouldn't come across as well if the ever present war/bridgerun was the backdrop. Listening to the book on audible though, Shallan wears thin at times. Not for the lying or anything but because a lot of her cleverness in conversations is 'low hanging fruit' if you will. Even reading to reading, I enjoyed her character a lot more in the second book and it will be interesting to see if I will like her even more while listening.
