Wasn’t grabbing my attention. Became a chore to read. Super bummed about it because I LOVED Mistborn but just wasn’t feeling this one in the same way

Wow, just... WOW. No me gusta la temática de superhéroes, pero este libro me ha encantado. Me costó un poquito entrar ya que la historia está muy centrada en la venganza del protagonista y se me hacía muy cliché el asunto, pero el world building + el sistema de magia + los diversos plot twist y la forma en la que Sanderson escribe, hacen de este libro una maravilla. No le pongo 5 estrellas por detallitos tontos.

I’ll be the first to admit it—This book did not appeal to me when I first heard about it. The premise of evil superheroes is just not my cup of tea, and I was worried this would just be another standard grimdark fare. However, Sanderson’s writing just has something about it that sets him apart. I enjoyed this book a lot—though the teen romance subplot was very annoying at first, and Sanderson’s descriptions of one of the female characters is awkward to read—and I will definitely be checking out the next installment. Basically, keep in mind this book was written almost a decade ago, but still tells a good story with interesting and loveable characters.
