Words of Radiance

I feel like this book did a better job of giving the characters more depth. In the last book, my biggest issue was that none of the characters were super interesting: Kaladin was somewhat whiny, Dalinar was too proper and boring, and Shallan was morally questionable. But all of the characters have actual arcs this book, and I found myself very drawn into the character stories, especially Shallan's backstory. My only issues are (spoilers ahead) a) I'm not entirely sure where the story is going to go after this book and b) the two fakeout deaths have someone sucked all the stakes out of the series.
