This book has such a sweeping narrative that it would be almost impossible for me to write out a review that A, does it justice, and B, covers every part that I enjoyed. So, I thought I would just do a quick, tidy, and efficient Alphabet review. It will probably be a little “ranty” and incoherent, but it will give me a clear beginning and end.

So, hold your sprens close and your honorblades even closer, because here we go!

A is for Adolin – The fact that we do not get any significant answers to what happened in the bombshell of an ending in WOR until page 850 is something that is baffling to me. But it's apropos to the tone of the entire book. Each and every revelation is met with a ho-hum response. You wait for answers to BIG questions; they come, but for the most part, they are written with a nonchalant and non-revelatory prose.
B is for Burden – Both Shal and Azure have some pretty heavy burdens to overcome in this book, and by the end, I would say they are stifled; they will probably carry on in future books.
C is for Comradery – The comradery is strong with this one, but not as inspiring or electrifying as WOR.
D is for Dalinar - If there was a character that you liked at times, disagreed with at times, teared up with at times, or cheered with at times, it would be this guy. I enjoyed his story arc in this one. Oh, and the interactions with the storm father are top-tier.
E is for Evi –
