Very happy I finally picked up this book! Ever since I started watching booktubers this series has always come up. One booktuber started doing a read along/ buddy read so I used that as an opportunity to finally start it!
Its great! The cast of characters are spectacular. Growth is clearly seen and can be followed throughout the book. Its so refreshing to be annoyed at a character for their personality at the beginning and then start to like them more and more as the develop to who they should be.
The magic system was very well explained and worked so well!
The plot which is commonly explained as "Oceans Eleven meets Lord of the Rings" is spot on. Once you get to the halfway point i was speeding thru the rest of the book like I was burning pewter! (Well technically I suppose it would be tin, but it was an analogy to moving fast physically so...)
Toward the end SO much happens, and its amazing, but sad, but incredible and DAMMIT I thought I had it figured out but Sanderson STILL managed to get a twist on me I didnt expect.
Slow clap for you Mr Sanderson, slow clap for you.
Highly recommend to anyone who loves an epic fantasy story. And recommend to anyone who is ok with fantasy but loves more character centered stories/plot. This book has it all!
