Right now, I really want to give this 5 stars, but I won't. It's not perfect and it doesn't deserves high marks. 
 But omg those last 100 pages T___T Someone hold me. 
 The bad : 
 - Severe lack of women. I mean, yes, there's Shallan and Jasnah but that's not enought? Especially as they are in the same chapters so every other chapters centered on Kaladin or Szeth have litteraly no women and the ones with Dalinar barely one by the end, and she is mostly a love interest. 
 - A couple hundred pages were really unnecessary. Like, I get world and character building but my god, by page 1000 Kaladin was still exactly at the same place than by the beginning. Come on. 
 The good : 
 - Somehow, and even if nothing much was happening most of the time, the story was really appealing and gripping. I kept thinking about it even when not reading and especially while at work (...). 
 - Kaladin is precious and I was rooting for him super hard. It's strange how that kind of character (very nice, want to do what's good all the time, only think of others, supet good at everything he does...), that I usually don't like that much, was here my favorite in the whole book. I cannot explain it, he just made me really happy, especially by the last 100 pages. I hope he doesn't disappoint later on. 
 - The two women were quite badass and cool. Especially Jasnah who I hope will have a more interesting story in later books. 
 Side note : While there was a severe lack of women and any kind of diversity I do have to point out that there was also no terrible representation or really offensive things happening (that I could see). Most of the time it was for lack of representation though (there's no fatshaming but because no one is fat...). But still : no rape, no outright sexism. I never directly felt offended by something in Sanderson's story, though I was affraid I would knowing his views as a mormon man. I'm not so sure about the racism though, but mostly because I didn't pay attention to anyone's skin color so idk what to make of all those "savage" comments about the parshendis. Would love to hear thoughts from people on that one.
