Not usually my type of book but it really catches your attention and is very fast-paced so it's easy to finish. Will look for the next books in the series.

Wasn’t grabbing my attention. Became a chore to read. Super bummed about it because I LOVED Mistborn but just wasn’t feeling this one in the same way

I’ll be the first to admit it—This book did not appeal to me when I first heard about it. The premise of evil superheroes is just not my cup of tea, and I was worried this would just be another standard grimdark fare. However, Sanderson’s writing just has something about it that sets him apart. I enjoyed this book a lot—though the teen romance subplot was very annoying at first, and Sanderson’s descriptions of one of the female characters is awkward to read—and I will definitely be checking out the next installment. Basically, keep in mind this book was written almost a decade ago, but still tells a good story with interesting and loveable characters.
