Fun read

even though some of the descriptions of gore were shockingly graphic.

Like normal Brandon Sanderson books, the first 20% took about a week to really get into, but the last 20% I finished in one evening.

My Fair Lady meets Oceans 11 during the French Reign of Terror. Also the power and abuses of religion is discussed in not so subtly ways - so unsubtle in fact you don’t even think about it as a message, just as part of the story.

There was a lot of world building, but I did love the characters in this book and it made me hate characters too. But all in all it was a fun time. Be prepared to get a lot of information to digest but by the end love every second of it.
