World, plot, and the mystery/suspense plotlines brought up in this book were all enjoyable, and the character work was not as bad.

While I think this is Sanderson's weakest novel, that doesn't really mean that it wasn't enjoyable for my (and for my tastes).

I really tried to like this one, but in the end I only felt disappointed. Compared to Sanderson’s other works, I felt the characters were not as well developed. The world and magic system, although interesting, were poorly communicated. The plot was predictable and the romance wasn’t quite there. I loved Sarene though, and I look forward to any other future books taking place in this world
