The Shallan / Veil stuff was pretty good. Didn't feel the repetition throughout the book benefitted it much though. Will miss Veil a lot.
The Dalinar / Ishar stuff was alright. Definitely did not feel like it belonged in the climax.
Szeth from the outside really doesn't seem like somebody they should be keeping around.... Being inside his head for book five is gonna be a wild ride..
Rlain was kinda weird. The climax is happening and he's just constantly like "yeah i guess I should just lay low and wait a couple hours and see what happens". It's like, dude, Navani is upstairs bleeding out with Moash menacingly approaching with an honorblade and a spren killing anti stormlight dagger right now man come on it's time to do something. I like him a lot though and I feel like there's a lot of potential with him. Sanderson has already revealed that the back five flashback arcs are Lift, Renarin, Ash, Taln, and Jasnah, but I feel like the Heralds are a jebait. Rlain has strong main character potential.
The Venli stuff was meh. I definitely agree with her... she's weak and confused. I don't enjoy reading about her and her progress doesn't really satisfy me. She's now where she should have been at the START of her flashback novel......
The Eshonai final flashback was beautiful.
