"Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do what is right, because it is right. If nobody starts, then others cannot follow."
Once again, Brandon Sanderson knocks my fucking socks off. And this is only the first book in a series. This is the introduction to start things off. His world building? Pure magic. His characters? Pure magic. His plot twists? Pure magic. His cliffhangers? Pure magic. Even in this first book, where the stakes are being set but not yet enforced, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, and near crying by the end of it. Something about Sanderson just works for me. (Romantasy could never.) I cannot wait to read the rest of this series. Serve it up, Brando Sando.
