It was a little bit of a hard read - in the sense that I have a lot of homework to do but not everything in this book is applicable to me.

Love this installment, but I still think Heir of Fire is better.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.
Wanted to read more finance books but a lot of the introduction was stuff I had already learned so I didn’t feel like reading any more

Me personally, this is the best book in the series. 

Note: I’ve only read to tower of dawn, but nonetheless. 

I think this is the book that really kicks off the series and the first couple books could be skipped.

Didn’t understand much because I was reading during work but I already read it before, so it was a good refresher at the least.

I originally saw the TedTalk around 5 or 6 years ago, then I was gifted the book a couple years ago and finally got around to reading it.

I think it’s a really good book.
