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.

Vivenna e Siri mi hanno fatto ammattire singolarmente, con le loro crisi esistenziali, ma Sanderson mi ha fatto ammattire ancora di più quando mi ha dato una scena con un abbraccio striminzito per quello che a parer mio doveva essere uno dei momenti clue della storia: Siri e Vivenna riunite. Sono tutt'ora molto perplessa sulla mancanza di dialogo rilevante tra le due.
Applausi per il sistema magico, molto semplice ma intrigante allo stesso tempo. Devo dire che è stato molto frustrante non ricevere informazioni concrete a riguardo fino a metà storia inoltrata, ma è stato decisamente appagante alla fine.
Vasher, Vasher, Vasher... unico motivo per cui mi dispiace che warbreaker sia uno stand-alone. Confido in una qualche novella per rivederti.
Ancora una volta mi ritrovo confusa dalla dicotomia dell'autore con i personaggi femminili.
Sanderson con Vivenna: uno dei migliori archi narrativi per quanto riguarda l'evoluzione del personaggio
Sanderson con Blushweaver: she breasted boobily
NON CAPISCOOO LE SKILLS LE HAI PERCHÈ MI CROLLI COSÌ.
Capisco che è un personaggio il cui fronte si basa sull'usare il suo corpo per manipolare la gente attorno a sè, ma la cosa era stata già ben stabilita all'inizio. Era davvero necessario descrivere il suo seno a ogni sua comparsa? Non penso proprio.
Detto questo, continuerò imperterrita la mia esplorazione del cosmere. Prossima tappa: Elantris.
