Holy crap, now I think I get the hype for Brandon Sanderson. I've only read his secret projects so far (yet to read the 4th) and this one has blown me away. Rich world building, lovable characters that still have great character arcs, romance that doesn't feel rushed or forced. I had no clue what I was truly getting into with this book, and any expectations I had were demolished. Frick, now I'll really get pulled into the Cosmere, won't I?
