This is the first “epic” fantasy book I’ve read and it has converted me completely from a non-fiction only reader to someone obsessed with high fantasy! 

I absolutely love this book and will be reading the entire Cosmere after the Mistborn saga! 

I only take .25 away because the pacing does feel a tad slow only a couple times throughout the book. However, if you removed those parts, the impact and greatness of the story would suffer. 

I’m so excited to read the next book that I bought it right away and already started reading! Highly recommend!
