Solid sci-fi dystopia setup with excellent writing. I don’t like Megan as a character and I like David’s infatuation with her even less, but the mystery and the world building were enough to keep me invested.

I love this series. It's a funny and easy read, but still contains emotional scenes and engaging drama.

This was so good aaaaa

There were lots of twists and turns, some I predicted and some I didn't. I found myself liking all the main characters, even if some took a while to settle in my good books. Brandon Sanderson does a really good job at pacing and writing stories full of action like this! 

I'm super excited to read the other books in this series! I want to see how the story unfolds from here and how life is after

the Reckoners managed to kill Steelheart and Nightwielder.

This is my first Sanderson novel, definitely checking out the other books in the series + the other ones he wrote!

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
