I was hesitant to read this since it’s Brandon Sanderson’s first book, but let me just say, I was intrigued from page 1.  Plus, the characters might be some of my favorites of his.

It does show a bit that this is his first novel, especially in the minor details of the writing and dialogue, but this is still an incredibly well crafted fantasy novel that (as I have come to expect from Sanderson) brings everything and the kitchen sink to an immensely intense climactic final act

Struggled to connect with the characters in the first half butg really warmed to them in the end. Overall I really enjoyed the story and the character development of one character in particular.
