Y'all need therapy

4 stars

Content warning Plot spoilers, also for The Sunlit Man

Kaladin's fifth ideal made me chuckle, as did his realization that Hoid/Wit had kinda been his therapist this whole time. I felt bad for Jasnah, I wish we had gotten more time with her through these first five books. I was pleased with how well the author did this part of Sigzil's transition to becoming The Sunlit Man.

Some of the dialogue felt moralizing and pretty heavy-handed. Not anything I disagreed with, I've found many of his characters' struggles throughout the series very relatable, just felt like the author treated his characters like sock puppets more in this book than previous ones.

Content warning Somewhat plot-relevant details of Pontifex cryptosystem

DAMN that was long. Uh, the characters were funny I guess? The Pontifex cryptosystem was kinda interesting. I love the idea of using a deck of cards.

Least favorite part: visceral, thirsty point of view monologues consisting of male characters lusting after women.

Cosmere fans only

3 stars

I don't think this book would stand that well on its own if you haven't read other Cosmere books. It feels more like BrandoSando's just geeking out about how his different magic systems would interact. I enjoyed it, but I'll have to see if I can get someone who's brand new to Cosmere stuff (or just critical of references to other books in the shared universe period, even if already familiar with some Cosmere books) to give it a spin.

It only took me 9 days?! Huh. This one was as fun as the first time I read it, perhaps a bit more so because I kept looking for hints about the cosmere but not finding any.
