Started this with zero expectations and then initially groaned internally because I thought it would be a tropey romance. BUT it wasn’t!

This was page turner for me because I was extremely curious as to what was happening and why.

In retrospect it was a romance indeed and the ending would have been more powerful if the epilogues didn’t come into play. However, being a Sanderson book it had to be how it played out in the end.

Also being Sanderson, the pay off at the end was worth the initial slog (like a lot of his recipes).

More fleshing out of characters would have been great and less info dumping at the end would have also been better. I felt it was all explained well before the “explanations” at the end parts but I gathered Sanderson did this for those who didn’t get it through the organic story telling… so therefore making it more accessible for all.

This is kind of book that confuses due to its uniqueness at first, then utterly captures your heart.
It's been a while since I have cried due to the sheer beauty of words.
