A slightly different flavor of Sanderson with two sisters at the helm. Less action, more romance (still no spice) and coming of age. The focus was more narrow and less complex than Sanderson's future works like The Stormlight Archive, but you still feel the sense of secrets waiting to be revealed that keep you hooked. If you enjoyed Elantris or Mistborn, this will be right up your alley. It's fun to see how Sanderson's writing evolved, but even earlier works like this are impressive and worth a read.
