I hate how much I was disappointed with this one! I enjoyed the first one, but this one felt REALLY needlessly long to me :/ In classic Sanderson fashion, a lot of time and pages were devoted to hammering in allusion and cultivating relationships, espionage, tensions, but it was done over and over again for the same tensions and relationships, I found myself just quickly skimming and tuning out and not missing anything. I don't mind long books, but I think this could have used some editing down. Aside from that, everything was classic Sanderson. Great characters, straightforward writing, good story beats and twists... I wasn't quite as engaged in this story as the first one, but it certainly positioned it for an interesting finale.
