⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No spice 

I’d been wanting to get into Brandon Sander son’s books for a while and the first didn’t disappoint! It took me until around page 150-200 to get into it, but then I was hooked! 

There were some great twists and surprises near the end. It was a fun book to try to figure things out in.

I think I enjoyed the build up more than I did the payoff, but you know what, a win is a win!!!!!

Genuinely loved so much about this read. Found family, coming of age, learning to trust — I ate it right the fuck up!! It’s been a while since I purposefully sought out moments of free time just to read, so I thank Sanderson for letting me indulge the minor obsession that was completing this book <3 

The characters were engaging, there was rarely any POV I didn’t care for, and the world building was very neat!! 

My only complaint(s) revolve a certain character and a particular age gap (🤔) in a potential relationship and said character being put into an extremely powerful position (🤨) despite only ever reading political theory prior to their appointment and rarely acting on those principles in reality (😐) BUT! I digress, there’s more story to tell, and perhaps I’ll come around to them.

Regardless, Vin is everything to me and I can’t wait to continue the series!

It lulls for the first third of the book or so while he's worldbuilding, but once things started to pick up, I quickly couldn't put it down. It's a very intense gritty fantasy (see content warnings for details - it's...a lot), and the characterization is so good that they feel like old friends. It does have a shock twist at the end, so if you don't like those, I'd stay away. It made me absolutely bawl like a baby for a good hour after I finished it. Fantastic book!

The whole time reading this book I had a sense of regret for not finding this when I was in my most active reading years, around 12 or 13. It would've made a larger impact of me, even as I think as an adult I can definitely get more out of it now than I would've as a teenager. I see why this has been recommended to me, the book and the storytelling felt real in a way I seldom encounter. Of course it's very subjective, and I understand why to someone this might fall into the "yet another female protagonist's adventure with magic and learning lessons" category of books saturated with the ACOTAR-like books many of us don't enjoy in the slightest. This books has the it factor of fantasy books. No idea how to describe how and why, someone way smarter than me has probably put it in words somewhere on the internet.
