I loved this book! It did start off slow but I loved that the copy I have included illustrations of the things described as it added to the world building. And just overall the world building of this series is Amazing! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the books have in store!

Captivating. Great world building. Inspires me to get back into my own worldbuilding.
Wish there was a glossary or something with a names of people and places and how to say them. I think it would make the reading experience easier and more enjoyable for a wider audience.

I cant believe i read 1000 pages and wanted more after it ended…. I don’t get how he did this. I guess I can officially say I’m a fan of high fantasy this was so enjoyable to read

Meh. A competently put together genre tome. Very long, fairly cheesy, lots of fantasy racism. Consistently readable, but sometimes just barely. I think I would experience this as ~feeling~ mormon even if I didn't know Brandon Sanderson was mormon. Some of the worldbuilding details really stretch credibility (a currency system based on glass spheres of equal size???). I did appreciate all the critters though.
