I am curious what is the feeling so far about this book.

Personally, I think it is run-of-the-mill Sanderson writing. The book is quite different but same style.

The story though is "meh" to me. I enjoyed it. Lot of reveals of the mystery in all the previous books.

Im sure the 17th-Shard folks are going to be busy for the next 2 to 4 years trying to get through this one :-D

Wind and Truth Spoiler

Book is not at all about grand battles and finales, does it have a Sanderlanche ? 
For a mid-way point to the entire Stormlight Archive series of 10-books does it really deliver?

I'm doing audio book and still have about 28 hours left. So far I am enjoying it. I would say 8/10 so far.

Brando Sando definitely delivers to all of us fans. I loved OathBringer and Way of Kings story. This book I enjoyed it but story-wise I thought it was run-of-the-mill for a mid-way point for the entire series. I can't wait for the 6 - 10 books :-D
