I quite enjoyed this book throughout. It’s fairly well thought out. It’s not perfect as many have suggested it is. However the characterizations and a good portion of the world building is done really well. These characters already are very memorable to me. I honestly can’t wait to get to the rest of the series.

There are references to the potential for SA throughout the book. Also, there’s literal references and allusions to slavery and the types of work involved in real life slavery also happening in this fictional world. The nobles are also quite misogynistic at times.

Actual character arcs? A magical world that's actually built out with a complex hard magic system? A rebellion? Twists I actually did not see coming? Uh, YEAH. This is the first Sanderson book I've read and I'm looking forward to finishing the series.
