Shallan - We never found out how or why she became a Radiant with a shardblade in the first place, exactly what the deal was with her mother (in fact we don't know almost anything about her at all), the full extent her father was tied with the Ghostbloods, etc. Heck, even the Helaran thing isn't fully explored- we basically just know he was a Skybreaker and that's it.

There is a LOT of Shallan's past that is still up in the air. We did find out some big revelations, but it was pretty obvious imo that the plotline wasn't anywhere near over.

I do think I'm probably going to end up putting RoW at the bottom of my list of the books honestly, but its mostly because of pacing issues and the overall main plot themes not being all that strong compared to the others, and not repetition, which I haven't felt at all.
