I liked this book better than the first. I think this one fixed alot of the pacing issues I had with the first book. I really enjoy almost every character but Wax, which is a bit difficult sometimes. I'm hoping to see him have alot of growth in the next book. So far really enjoying the series though.

I really liked how Sanderson played with religion in this book, but other than that highlight I struggled to really feel invested or care about the plot as much as book 1. I do think the ending hooks you back in though.

Sanderson has hit another home run. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am waiting for book 3!
