I cannot rate this book highly enough! In my opinion, a fantastic sequel to the original book, and elevates these characters by shining a light on their growth. Shallan's arc was particularly revealing of her character, and Gabe so much more depth than a frightened girl away from home. Cannot wait to see what Urithiru brings!

I liked this book even better than the first. The world building just continues to deepen and I’m obsessed.

However, it’s not 5 stars bc I still do not agree with a lot of Sanderson’s plot choices regarding the Parshendi. I did love that we got some of their perspective in this book. And I LOVE their culture and powers and stuff. But the narrative choices regarding their history, enslavement, and genocide are extremely harmful. I have a lot of notes.

The only reason this isn’t five stars is because it was far longer than it needed to be. I was very bored, mind you. The story remained interesting and kept my attention even when it seemed to be stagnating around character history rather than moving the plot forward.

I rooted for Shallan and feared for Kaladin and just generally enjoyed the whole thing. More than I expected. I’m here for the rest of the series - I have no idea what will happen next.
