GOT BETTER AND BETTER

A really AMAZING read - tension building all the way through and a fantastic finish. For a second book, it was surprisingly satisfying, The ending was something else.
OMFG. Like you keep thinking how it will end over over, but guess what? YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT IT. Can't ask for a better ending than this.

This was a hard book to pick up, but it was very hard to put down. Though I didn't really understand all of the politics of the world, it was still a good book. There were times in the beginning that made it feel like it was just a sequel, but it was towards the second half of the book that really made it feel more like a book in its own right. As good of a book as it was, I don't think anything can compare to the first book.

It was a captivating journey through an expanding and enchanting magical system.

While the book started at a leisurely and slow pace, it gradually built up momentum until the last 200 pages had me hooked. I couldn't put the book down as the intricate plot unfolded, leaving me completely emotionally invested. The sheer brilliance of Sanderson's world-building was breathtaking, creating an imaginary world that feels realistic and immersive. With every turn of the page, my anticipation for what awaits in the last book of this series was growing. I feel like the best is yet to come!

 It was sooo close to being a masterpiece, i just wish it was a little bit shorter. The first one was way more digestible length-wise. Still an excellent book thought, the characters journeys are fascinating and brilliantly crafted. Brandon Sanderson really is the goat.
