podanotherjessi's review against another edition
adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.25
Well, this is better than the first book, and that's only because the misogynistic elements are toned down. They're still there, mind you, but there are fewer lingering descriptions of Merisi's curves.
The plot and characters for this were tropey. A lot of predictable twists at the end. Th main characters are all still rather typical archetypes. But it's a fun read. My real issue is that I'm just unsure what Sanderson might have meant as a theme in this book. I think he was trying for nuance, but instead he sends mixed messages.
Characters: 8
Plot: 7
Setting: 8
General appeal: 7
