I finished up
Shadows last night, and it did improve, but I still wouldn't rate it highly among Sanderson's works. About the most fun element was visiting "historic" sites from the original trilogy.

We'll have to disagree, there. I thought WoR was right on par with WoK, which is to say some of Sanderson's best work. Shallan is easily his most fleshed-out and interesting female character to date. Female characters were a major weakness in Sanderson's early work (see
Warbreaker), and another area where he's made a lot of progress. Shallan is also one of the two main protagonists in the series so far, so yeah, expect her to have "priority."
