This is a really great book! A five star in my mind, except for the rushed ending, and some of the conclusions were a little lacking. Some of the most interesting characters who develop into heroes. Yea, I came love Lightsong, Blushweaver, Siri, and Sassybrawn. Vivennas plot line started out great, similar to mistborn, but then petered out towards the middle, then went back up when
she finally decided to do something with her breath. Blushweaver! Lightsong! I miss them both, so much diversion I got from their interactions with each other as they are both so arrogant. Also, a talking sword?!?
This book is a wild ride, and I was all for it. This magic system is so creative, and I wish I could have seen more of the kind of things that happen in the first chapter. This book is Sanderson’s spiciest I’ve read so far, but it’s only like a 4/10 spicy in terms of a spicy book. Sanderson, I will instantly buy Warbreaker 2, if that is any incentive for you to write it.
