I don’t know how he does it. I’ve admitted that I’ve not been terribly invested in Era 2 from the beginning. Sure, the first three books were entertaining, but I felt like they were missing. . .something. So please explain to me how this book made me CRY SO HARD, I gave myself a headache? Ugh. Sanderson, the evil genius. This was definitely my favorite of the Era 2 books, probably because it opened up a whole can of worms and questions about the cosmere and not because it somehow sneak attacked my heart and Shattered it like Adonalsium.

This is one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read, period. A spectacular end to Era 2, and a brilliant gateway drug to reading the rest of the Cosmere. I haven’t enjoyed a book this much since “The Hero of Ages” (which I suppose is fitting).
