I think I enjoyed the build up more than I did the payoff, but you know what, a win is a win!!!!!

Genuinely loved so much about this read. Found family, coming of age, learning to trust — I ate it right the fuck up!! It’s been a while since I purposefully sought out moments of free time just to read, so I thank Sanderson for letting me indulge the minor obsession that was completing this book <3 

The characters were engaging, there was rarely any POV I didn’t care for, and the world building was very neat!! 

My only complaint(s) revolve a certain character and a particular age gap (🤔) in a potential relationship and said character being put into an extremely powerful position (🤨) despite only ever reading political theory prior to their appointment and rarely acting on those principles in reality (😐) BUT! I digress, there’s more story to tell, and perhaps I’ll come around to them.

Regardless, Vin is everything to me and I can’t wait to continue the series!
