I'm literally in shock because of how good this was. This is the finest fantasy I've read in my entire life, this man is a master I can't believe I've lived all this time without reading for him. This is my first high fantasy and also my first brandon sanderson book but oh my was it such a whirlwind. I enjoyed every second of this book, we can say I devoured it. I was intimidated by high fantasy because of how complex the worlds are and just the immense amount of information but you guys hear me out. This world is one of the most complex and unique ones I've ever seen but brandon sanderson built it like as smoothly as building a kite, the sequence of info and events made me fully mesmerised and in love with the perfect details. The characters were all exceptionally special everyone had their own plotline and it's depth omg it was something else. My opinions on them kept changing till the last minute, hell even till now. I can't even decide whether this is good or bad but all I can say is that it's very clever on brandon sanderson's side. I'm not a fan of politics at all and I wouldn't want to read anything focusing on political intrigue at for brandon sanderson I definitely would. Warbreaker had the best twists based on the political intrigue THIS MAN IS A GENIUS I was literally screaming at a mass market paperback at 2 AM. In the end what I want to say is that if you want to start reading high fantasy or even get into brandon sanderson's books just start with warbreaker you won't regret it I guarantee you. This was recommended for me to start by a friend and I owe her my life now literally. Brandon sanderson deserves every bit of hype he gets even more and I can't wait to start devouring everything he ever wrote.
