I'd say 3.5 stars for the first half, and 5 stars for the last half. This book definitely took a while to get going in a way that I didn't really experience with the first two, but the second half of this book was probably my favorite chunk in the series so far! I absolutely adore Dalinar; he is by far my favorite character, and he really has time to shine in this one. I think, even though I wasn't super into the first half of the book and think [b:Words of Radiance 17332218 Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive, #2) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1507307927l/17332218.SY75.jpg 16482835] is better paced overall, I still like this book equally, if not more, purely because Dalinar wasn't around nearly enough in WoR. My second favorite character coming into this book was probably Shallan, but I have to say I did not love the multiple-personality storyline here very much. As for the more grand scale plot stuff, I absolutely loved the explorations and reveals about the world (and beyond). Any mysterious magic or setting is just so interesting to me, and there was plenty of that to chew on here.Very excited that I am almost caught up with these books and then can impatiently await the next one alongside everyone else!
