I loved this book. I have been scared to start Brandon Sanderson’s cosmere books but this was so good! I can’t wait to read the other two books in the trilogy. This book was written in a way that if you ignore the epilogue it could be a stand alone so there isn’t much pressure in starting it.

woodenrust's review against another edition

I was only one chapter in and already the misogyny was too much for me to handle.  I wanted to keep going but was informed that it is a topic that comes up a lot in the book, particularly in describing women being

raped

, and I just can't handle stuff like that, so I decided to drop it.

My first glimpse into the cosmere and Sanderson‘s work in general and I absolutely loved it! I was a bit worried as it was my first high fantasy novel as well but I got right into the story. I can’t wait to see how the story will continue and how Sanderson, as an author, has grown over the years.
