I was enthralled by this book. I loved the main character, her internal voice narration, as well as the supporting characters around her. I was amazed by the lore built into the first book and I look forward to filling in some of the holes that Sanderson has left open. My husband loves this author and is always amazed at how he basically says “this is going to be important” throughout the entire book and even series of books and then you get to the end and even though he has constantly been telling you that this one thing is important, it somehow becomes the plot twist that blows your mind. There were definite plot twists that create a satisfying but open ending for this installment in the new realm of Sandersons imagination, however I know that easter eggs of importance are strewn throughout his writing that will have great significance in the last book.
