Good stand alone book.
Easy read with the story picking up quickly.
hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

Although i enjoyed the themes in the story, i felt there were not enough female characters and too much mansplaining.

This is my least favorite Sanderson book so far. While I still really enjoyed it, I just felt it lacked the depth that a lot of his writing usually gets to. It was almost too childish in parts and then overly complicated in other parts. Still a great read, just not up to his usual standard, imo. 

I can't believe that this is baby Sanderson. This man was born to write. 

genuinely obsessed with part two.

Felt like a good insight into Sanderson's thoughts on religion. I liked focus on intrigue, which was breathe of fresh air for the genre.
