It was good but there were some logical inconsistencies that I found rather annoying. Sanderson didn’t really think through the characterization of his own characters. That said the magic system is cool and the story is interesting. It left a lot of unanswered questions that set it up perfectly for a sequel but not sure I’ll finish the series
Spoiler:
The vin Eleni relationship was really underformed but of course they said they loved each other. Typical fantasy romance timeline but still a bit cringe
