It was a bit difficult to get into it at first but after 200 pages I finally succeeded.
Overall, the story was entertaining and interesting, though I didn’t quite get how the magic works here. But ok, doesn’t really matter.
Another interesting thing is how every person perceives the characters. Vivenna was my absolute favorite, it was so absorbing to see her rising and then hitting rock bottom and rising again. Siri, on other hand, was interesting to watch only occasionally, when she was trying herself in politics. All other moments were a bit boring… But I’ve expected it would be the other way around based on my friend’s review.
Also, the romance … it’s not that I don’t like romance in epic fantasy. I love couples in Stormlight Archive, and even though I didn’t emotionally connected to Vin and Elend I respected them, and of course I absolutely adored Sazed and Tindwyl. The other example- Mia’s love life (from Nevernight) was quite amusing. In this case though… I felt chemistry between them, but they were so their own world that I felt resentment towards them. I wish they were more involved in court life and politics. I know the circumstances, I get the setting but I simply don’t appreciate it.
So far, I rate it 4 stars, but I wait the second book nonetheless

As much of Brandon Sanderson’s work as I’ve read, I still gasped multiple times while experiencing Warbreaker’s twists and turns. The perfect placement of clues and hints and distractions resulted in repeatedly being overwhelmed with satisfaction that I didn’t see something coming, but once it was revealed it made perfect sense, answering questions I didn’t know I’d only barely begun to ask.
Love it, highly recommend it, 10/10
