I love the Stormlight Archive! There is no such thing as a bad Stormlight book. Yet every time I see people ranking the four Stormlight books, Rhythm of War tends to be lowest.

So we’re going to explore that today. Does this book actually have problems? Or are there other reasons for this slightly lacklustre audience response? I really want to understand this, because I love Rhythm. This book means so much to me. Let's explore together.
