I found this one much easier to get into compared to Way of Kings. I adore the primary character of this book and I loved getting more of her backstory. The world building is so incredible and the way literally everything is connected just blows my mind! So well thought out and planned.

There were multiple points while reading this book when I was actually screaming out loud, on the edge of my seat, and crying. This is only my second 5 star book of 2024 so far.

Honor is dead... but I'll see what I can do

animal death/cruelty:

A mc's horse dies during war. Besides that all animals are made-up species: there is an animal fighting ring, a zoo visited by characters, and other animals killed.

What a wonderful follow-up to The Way of Kings. I love this world, this magic system, and these characters! I can’t wait to continue my Cosmere experience!
