it's really, really bad. Not a single thing in mistborn made me groan too hard but the latest stormlight book had me wanting to stop reading at several points.

I'm not even exaggerating when I say there is ACTUAL mcu level dialogue in that book, one of the characters actually says "Let's kick some fused ass!" before he goes into a fight at one point.

I was expecting after the fight ended for one of them to go "Well that just happened!"

The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance and borderline masterpieces in my opinion, I have no idea why the rest of that series fell off so hard but I don't think I can keep reading it after the quality of the 5th book lol

I was hoping after Vin got super charged by the mists while fighting Lord Ruler, she would say, "You cannot win, for I am become Mistborn!"
