I told myself that after reading this book that I would finally dive into other NON-Sanderson books to take a little bit of a break and read something new. And then I actually completed reading this book and uhm. NO. How dare I think that I can wait that long to figure out how this trilogy progresses!?!?!?

I had many areas throughout this book that I felt were very slow and I wasn't fully connected, I think that was due to trying to listen to an audiobook of it which is kind of hard when you're

This book was outstanding.

Brandon Sanderson has built up a fantastic world that I loved it be a part of and designed a brilliant magic system.

There were a few parts in this book that had my heart beating as if I were watching a mad action movie where the main character nearly dies.
Granted; there were a couple of parts in this book where I felt a bit bird reading it, but isn't that the same in nearly every book? It wouldn't be a good book if there weren't boring parts.

My favourite part of this b

This is BY FAR the best book that I've read so far this year, and I cannot wait to continue on in the series. I don't even know if I can do a review of it, because it would literally just be me saying that everything about it is amazing. Because it is. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this book, and I think that this is one of those rare moments where I love something so much that I cannot critique it. I wouldn't even know where to start with a critique (cue me trying to think of examp ...more

If you haven't read this book and are nervous to because you've never read epic fantasy before (like I was) or you are intimidated by it's 643 pages then all I can say to you is READ THIS BOOK! Now. Like right now.
You will not regret it. This is an absolutely amazing read and is one of my favourite books now. I was apprehensive going into this book as I've never read epic fantasy book before but I was pleasantly surprised by how I was drawn into this world and how I literally couldn't stop read

It took me a while to read for some time,
it didn't grab me and make me stay up whole night..
however that could be due to the fact that i have not really been in the mood to read lately.

Anyways.. I want to mention I am comparing this book to Brent Weeks, otherwise it would probably get 5 starts, but I believe its a great company nonetheless..

I wasn't a fan of the romantic relationship, it was a bit weak and forced and too sudden for my taste.

I wasn't sure about the magic at first, I've heard abo
