Iove the way Sanderson's writing enthralls me and compels me to read faster and faster, desperate to find out what will happen next. This book is also no exception to his talent for adeptly placing a twist right at the end of a book such that it doesn't end how you were expecting at all. Unfortunately, it's also not an exception to my disappointment in his ability to write female characters. At any rate, I can't wait to read the conclusion of this trilogy!

this book was overall a bit slower than The Final Empire, but it wasn’t bad by any means, and i can’t wait to read Hero of Ages!!
