I have yet to encounter a Sanderson book that I haven't deeply enjoyed yet, but THIS one is perhaps the best, moest emotionally devastating, hopeful, shuddery, queasiness-inducing, aggravating, enthralling, gaspable of his books that I've read to date.

I have but one complaint* and it's really quite simple: Answers were literally so "under" my nose this WHOLE TIME since the very first words of The Final Empire that they may as well have been INSIDE my nose for all the good they did me being so obvious. IYKYK. RAFO if you don't.

*Disclaimer: for legal reasons this is not actually a complaint but should be taken more as praise for the author's writing and storytelling abilities than anything less than that.
