The middle of the book drags and I was planning on taking a break from the series after this book but after the ending I was permanently hooked on the cosmere

Ich glaub was mich an Sanderson noch mehr fasziniert als die Tatsache das jedes Buch das er schreibt so gut wird das der Begriff Meisterwerk abgedroschen klingt, ist die Kreativität und Unberechenbarkeit die er dabei an den Tag legt. Sanderson verändert nichts in diesem Buch, die Figuren bleiben sich treu, die Geschichte wird konsequent weiter geführt und auch das Magiesystem wird an keiner Sekunde absurd. Und doch schafft er es die Tonalität komplett zu wechseln und eine völlig neue Geschichte zu erzählen die sich genau so natürlich anfühlt wie im ersten Buch. Es wurde nie wirklich langweilig weil nicht ein einziger Teilkonflikt erwartbar aufgelöst wurde. An dieser Stelle bitte einfach meine Bewertung von Kinder des Nebels einfügen. Und gerade als ich dachte die Geschichte beginnt vorhersehbar zu werden beendet Sanderson das Buch mit einem Plottwist der sich gewaschen hat.
Um es zusammen zu fassen. Die Geschichte bleibt sich treu und jeder Fan des ersten Teils kommt auf seine Kosten und doch erleben wir hier eine völlig andere Fortführung der Geschichte als gedacht, die nicht einmal generisch wird, oder von Wiederholung geprägt ist.

For the second book in a series, I'm impressed with how much I liked this one after finishing them all. There were moments in this book where I was so worried they wouldn't figure something out fast enough that I would read so much faster and have to slow myself down to absorb what was happening. Sazed's development was great, I love him.

fuck me the ending had me screaming. I finished the book at like 1am and had to stay up for another 2 hours just to calm myself down. Absolutely insane I didn't see the twist of the well coming AT ALL. And the best part was that it was all there! I hate books that pull shit out of nowhere but there were breadcrumbs everywhere I just didn't see them. Hot damn.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! This series is certifiably a masterpiece. The world building is amazing and having a big cast of compelling characters is done so well. I can’t wait to read the third one.

Also, I spent the whole book expecting a happy ending. Honestly this was kind of silly of me because this is the second book in a trilogy, which indicates that the ending probably won’t be good for the characters, and that they will be up against an even worse threat in the third book.

Listened to on Audible for the family book club.

Lo he disfrutado bastante, con ganas de no estar en mitad de una opo para deborarlo de golpe. Pero hay un par de cosillas que me dejan algo fría y que, en teoría, se resuelven en el tercer libro.

Me esperaba un cliffhanger peor, la liberación de una cosa chunga capaz de cambiar papeles y recuerdos y de, por lo que creo, controlar a los inquisidores, es sorprendente, pero tampoco me aviva la chispa de la curiosidad tanto como para comenzar el tercero ahora. Y en la última parte del libro he echado mucho de menos a OreSeur/TenSoon, lo sassy que es me alegraba la vida y no tenerle presente se nota.
