My friend recently read WoK, and the entire time she was complaining about how boring it was, and that all they did was talk about war, and blah blah. She said she loved Shallan, but the story didn't focus on her enough, and she was always bored with Kaladin. She also said that there was so many parts of the story that she seemed unnecessary. Of course I tried to explain to her that every detail will have some significance sooner or later, and that it all comes together in the end, but she wouldn't listen -_-. So now I'm kinda upset that she disliked it so much, because it's just amazing and how can she not like it?! She loved Warbreaker and Rithmatist (the only other Brandon works she's read), and I'm disappointed that she said she isn't going to continue that series. (I might get her to read mistborn though... And maybe if she starts to understand the cosmere she'll come back to SA...?)
