There is quite a bit of tone shifting throughout this book, which sometimes made it difficult to actually sit with the hardship and character development. Especially when we go from Vivenna starving on the streets to Lightsong lounging and making jokes, it made me cringe and put the book down. Which, I guess, is what it was supposed to make me feel, but I couldn't tell if that was purposeful or just a happy accident.
The twists and plot hooks, however, are stellar as always! Cannot wait to read more about Vivenna and Vasher in the future š
Moderate: Classism and Abandonment

That was incredible! The magic system, the characters, the humor, the themes, the worldbuilding in generalā¦ I loved it.
However, a few words and expressions used felt out of place, which took me out of the story. And I wish the ending was not so rushed.
This book was my introduction to the Cosmere. I will definitely read more. :)
PS: Lightsong was hilarious! He's my favorite. I'm still thinking about him.
