I cannot rate this book highly enough! In my opinion, a fantastic sequel to the original book, and elevates these characters by shining a light on their growth. Shallan's arc was particularly revealing of her character, and Gabe so much more depth than a frightened girl away from home. Cannot wait to see what Urithiru brings!

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!
