[Knights of Wind and Truth] Curious about fan reactions

I am curious what is the feeling so far about this book.

Personally, I think it is run-of-the-mill Sanderson writing. The book is quite different but same style.

The story though is "meh" to me. I enjoyed it. Lot of reveals of the mystery in all the previous books.

Im sure the 17th-Shard folks are going to be busy for the next 2 to 4 years trying to get through this one :-D

::: spoiler Wind and Truth Spoiler

Book is not at all about grand battles and finales, does it have a Sanderlanche ? 
For a mid-way point to the entire Stormlight Archive series of 10-books does it really deliver?

:: Spoiler discussion on DragonSteel Prime and also Way Of Kings Prime

Has anyone read thoroughly DragonSteel and WayOfKings both as Prime-versions as well as the normal canonical versions?

::: spoiler spoiler

Spoiler WayOfKings Prime seems to be better than DragonSteel Prime.

     I found DragonSteel Prime kind of not a very good or even cohesive storyline compared to the WayOfKings Prime. 

      WayOfKings-Prime reads almost like if someone tried to "Hollywood"-ify BrandoSando's WoK without really reading anything about Cosmere.

      But DragonSteel-Prime reads like some crazy drunk person tried to combine Pug/Magician and BelGarion/Belgariad(David Eddings )  and some more fantasy settings. 

      I want more of these stories, the first drafts and the final editions !  It is very very fascinating how each story got revised, cut, re-written, re-arranged, etc.
