Compared to Sanderson's other Cosmere books, this is a SLOWWWWWW BURNNNNNNNN. Takes almost half the book to get going and then once it does, it's a sprint to the finish line. Ultimately I really liked it, but I would not recommend it as the first book in the Cosmere that someone reads. If you're a fan of intricate court politics, mysterious magic systems, rising up from absolute rock bottom, and enigmatic religious war, you'll probably like this book.
