I think that by trying to do too much with the battle of Thaylen City, a lot of really heroic parts fell flat. Lift chasing Honors drop, while important, I didn't really care about when Dalinar was about to go super saiyan, ya know? Venli's internal struggle, definitely cool, but... did it need to happen right then? Idk. Just missed for me. Will probably start a re-read soon
