Dawntreader
A necromancer with twisted visions of utopia seeks to raise a city of the dead. An elf leaves home to meet the undead legions, a journey that ultimately leaves her with more doubts than she'd ever allowed herself. A trio of engineers dabble in powers that may forever change the history of Talum. A wayward prince, thinking himself freed from duties expected of him, must escape the long arm of his people.
Dawntreader is a tale of threads, each perspective turning inexorably toward the others and joining - a tangled skein of relationships, intrigue, tragedy and triumph. Heroism takes many forms: A valiant charge, a shoulder offered, a simple gesture to a friend in dire need.

Fast paced, but lacks polish.
This book had a lot of cool moments, so many memorable characters and places and lore. But it would have needed at least twice the size of the book to give justice to all the characters and events, something approaching the length of Stormlight Archives and the depth of Sanderson's world building. I'm guessing this is the author's first book, hope the process of writing the first book leads to much improved ones in the future. This book tells a complete story on its own, but so many threads are left open for future books.
