The characters were three dimensional and the setting really interesting, especially when you really get into the book and start to realise just what is going on.
It has been a while since I’ve been so immersed in a story. I devoured this in barely three days!

Moderate: Physical abuse
The skaa are essentially slaves in this book, and violence/murder is explicitly described although it may be considered slightly more tame compared to other fantasy books.malisac16's review against another edition

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!
Moderate: Death, Gore, Abandonment, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Child abuse, Physical abuse, Rape, and Slavery
The adult/minor relationship is between a couple that meets when the man is 21 and the girl is 16.headinthepages's review against another edition
