* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: This book series got a liscensed soundtrack album composed by The Black Piper music group titled "Kaladin". This album manages to convey many of Kaladin's moments in the first two books particularly "Bridge Four Shield" when Kaladin manages to use his Windrunner abilities to draw the arrows to his shield.

** Moash is widely hated by the fandom for his actions in the series, to the point of there being subreddit dedicated to hating him, aptly titled "r/fuckmoash." At the same time, he is also regarded as one of the best villains Sanderson has ever made due being legitimately dangerous, having an engaging character arc, that while it makes him understandable, it if anything makes him even easier to root against, as you get to see him start at a sympathetic point, only to make all the wrong decisions and become something truly repugnant.

** Torol Sadeas is a blatantly evil scumbag who is quite well regarded as a villain in the fandom, thanks to being a well executed StarterVillain. He manages to be a loathsome SmugSnake, while also getting notably humanized, giving him nuance and making him quite compelling, plus being both a legitimate threat ''and'' a BigBadWannabe who isn't all that important in the larger scope of the story. Not to mention being a very good demonstration of everything wrong with Alethi society.

** Pretty much the entirety of the first chapter of ''Way of Kings'' - which includes the iconic introduction of Szeth and the magic system of the world, and a bombastic combat scene that establishes the powers of Shardblades and Shardplates, and finally Gavilar's cryptic last words.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: Lighter than others, but in ''Oathbringer'', the character Lyn makes her debut, a would-be Windrunner squire that Syl mistakes as being a bridgeman, whom Kaladin allows into the Windrunners and who eventually does become a fully-fledged Windrunner. Several members of the trans community saw her as a trans symbol, being a woman with traditionally masculine interests, and some even interpreted her as a transgender man pre-transition. However, when ''Rhythm of War'' was released, this interpretation seems to have died down significantly, as after bonding with a Windspren, Lyn did ''not'' transition and remained female, as opposed to the Reshi King Ral-na in ''Dawnshard'' who identified as male and later fully transitioned on bonding with an ashspren.

** Lift, after having appeared in just a single interlude chapter, became one of people's favourites thanks to her impish personality and actions throughout her chapter. There's a bit of BrokenBase, though - some people find her light-hearted attitude and speech patterns annoying. Regardless, she went on to star in [[Literature/{{Edgedancer}} her own novella]] and also to play a larger role later in the series.

I'm gonna nix both of these. While there are disagreements within the fandom on both of these characters, it isn't as severe and vitriolic enough to be a base-breaker, which requires an intense, long-term, deep rift within the fandom caused by said characters.


* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Lift. People either love her, finding her a breath of fresh air in personality and storytelling from everyone else's chapters; or they hate her, finding her speech patterns, personality, and appearances in otherwise-plot-heavy chapters to be distracting and obnoxious.
** Moash. He is either a good foil to Kaladin and a good antagonist, or he is an insufferable asshole who deserves to die in a fire. And that's not getting into the question of a redemption arc...
