This book was so so good. Such rich worldbuilding.
I loved how we met Dalinar when he was just in padded armour (pre-plate). Sounds like him and Gavilar were no more than backwater family ruffians, and yet look what they made/end up with. Loved the “momentum” chapter and Dalinar’s rampage scene.
The “Unity” event was, quite frankly, spiritual. What a sequence. “You can’t have my pain” (or similar) has to be up for a gong surely.
I liked the hints of Radiants calling upon their shard armour at certain times.
damnation you Moash / Poor Rock / Yay Teft! / Adíos Amaram / Speak the words Kaladin!
I have to say I listened to the audiobook. It has its faults but overall Michael & Kate do a fantastic job (once again). 9/10
