That was incredible! The magic system, the characters, the humor, the themes, the worldbuilding in general… 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.
