Okay now this was a good ride. The book is very much in the vein of Sanderson’s more serious fantasy. Honestly if you’d told me Sanderson wrote it, I’d believe you. 

Crazy magic system slowly being revealed, external forces slowly squeezing action, roiling political climate, a chosen band of friends, and twists that will keep your head spinning. Really enjoyed it and can’t wait to see where it goes in the next book.
