Thanks for the input - though I feel like Shallan is just symptomatic of a larger problem, I could also be wrong and I will give him the benefit of the doubt and keep reading SA.

I would certainly recommend finishing SA since I personally got as much of enjoyment out of it as I only had from ASoIaF. Also I would recommend it even more if you're on first book or not yet get to Shallan's back story in second since a lot of things will make more sense once you know it.

I think Shallan also isn't as clever as she thinks she is, in-universe. That makes it somewhat more palatable to me.

I would want to answer more, but I really want to avoid spoilers. Though I absolutely love her backstory and character development even if I really dislike writing of her in first book.
