I didn't know what I wanted to read, so got my handy-dandy TBR jar and drew this out of it. And my god am I glad I did because truly who knows how long it would have taken me to get around to reading this if left to my own devices. Holy shit this was incredible!
Such a beautiful mix of like, everything I loved this so much and it feels insane to me that all that is contained within this book is contained in only 300 pages. After all the Sanderson I've been reading recently, it seems truly beyond belief to be this good and not 1200 pages long haha.

I laughed, I cried, I was Concerned At Times and I absolutely loved these characters and their flaws and the ways they worked through their grief and their situations and ugh it was incredible. It is incredible.
