I read the books twice and Rhythm of War is still my favourite! Kaladin, Navani and Taravangian are at the top of their game, Wit and Jasnah are a delight, Raboniel is the greatest rival since Sadeas and Moash is so fun! We learn lots about the Cosmere, more than any other SA book. Sure, Venli's storyline and flashbacks are weak, and I don't know why the Mink is even in the story, but Goddamn! This book has some of the highest highs so far.

I have talked to a lot of Cosmere Fans (I am from LATAM so imagine that the community it's kind of Different). And I haven't find a standard opinion with the Stormlight. I have seen people who says that every book of the archive is their favourite. And honestly I don't think I have a Favourite because all have thinks that I love that the others Don't. Whit the Cosmere the only standar opinions that I have Found is that Stormlight is the best saga (Wich is more like a Fact), that Mistborn Era 1 y better that Era 2, That people prefers Warbreaker over Elantris and that White Sand is the worst of the Cosmere or the haven't read it. And even with this I have found a lot of people who disagrees.

Rhythm of War is deeply underrated imho- the technological advancement doesn’t happen (well) in fantasy, and it was awesome to show it live- far better than the repetitive battle sequences, of the other books. I tend to think Oathbringer is my favorite, because it has some of the best scenes, but it does have a bit of a slog in the middle the other ones don’t really have.

@@nachoalfonso2614 all valid points. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE "Oathbringer". Stormlight is my favorite series to-date. Honestly, I'll go as far as to say that there isn't a Cosmere book I haven't liked (though my least favorite is "Alloy of Law"). I would say that it probably amounts to the fact that I don't connect with Dalinar as much as many of the other characters. And the climax just didn't grab me as much as all of the others. Additionally, some of the arcs felt really slow to me. I really enjoy both Kaladin and Shallan, and "Words of Radiance" just hit the spot for me.

Interesting. It is a close thing cause I like them all quite a bit, but for me it's (best to "not as best") 1. Oathbringer - it's the culmination of so much that's been building for three books, and this book's "Sanderlanche" is probably my favorite bit of a book ever. 2. Way of Kings - it has all the fun and appeal of being the first book in a series, and I can't rank it without including the wonder and excitement my first cosmere book contained. 3. Words of Radiance - good book, not really better or worse than the others. 4. Rhythm of War - still a great read, but I feel like the pacing sags just a little in the middle.
