HeroDelTiempo17 12/14/20 9:01:23 AM #144:	I'm surprised you think the pacing is weird. My initial thoughts was that the book was much better paced than past books (except maybe book 2), though people also seemed to not like Oathbringer's pacing which I had no major issue with so maybe I'm not the best judge. But I thought the choice to lead with a mini-Sanderlanche, and then to include another as a climactic turning point at the end of Part 2, did wonders for the pacing. The only complaint is that the beginning of act 2 can drag on a little. I agree with you that the finale of the Urothiru conflict was good but felt weak, and thinking on it now I'm wondering if part of that is because that conflict is spread out across the back half of the book. Which IMO is better pacing even if it devalues Sanderson's usual style of "cram everything into the final act." --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:948315670] in Stormlight...
