What a wonderful follow-up to The Way of Kings. I love this world, this magic system, and these characters! I can’t wait to continue my Cosmere experience!

The only reason this isn’t five stars is because it was far longer than it needed to be. I was very bored, mind you. The story remained interesting and kept my attention even when it seemed to be stagnating around character history rather than moving the plot forward.

I rooted for Shallan and feared for Kaladin and just generally enjoyed the whole thing. More than I expected. I’m here for the rest of the series - I have no idea what will happen next.
