adventurous mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I really liked this book! It took me forever and a day to finish it, but the plot twists, characters, and world were all incredibly well thought out. I liked how Siri and Lightsong grew to find confidence and strength in themselves and their eccentricities and all the plot twists got me every time. I had to reread Denth’s betrayal like three times because I felt sure I was missing something or was hallucinating. 

Some reviews tout this book as not being Sanderson’s normal quality and, since I liked it well enough, I’m excited to read more of his stuff!

I hit the ground running with this one. From page one I was hooked. The characters felt real despite their utter unreality, the plot was well constructed, and excitingly readable prose.
