Wow. I just loved this one. My eyes were bloodshot and vision blurry, the house was a mess and the bills unpaid but I couldn't stop reading until I finished it.

This book was such a good read, I couldnt stop and kept wanting to know what would happen. The writing style is captivating, I can see why Brandon Sanderson got to finish The Wheel of Time, he's brilliant!

I love the way the characters were written as well, especially Vin, she's definately my favourite.

Will be starting the second book immediately, cant wait! ...more
