The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?

I'm currently near the ending of Oathbringer. The final battle is worth fighting through the book, even where it gets long.

I found the endless retrospections of Dalinar quite tedious. But that resolves about 2/3 trough and then integrates quite well.

It's really a lot of different characters, too, that doesn't make it simpler.

Overall, while it rightly focuses on Dalinar, it's also a really really long build-up to Rhythm of War.
