I have to say, I enjoyed this book, especially the ending.

Lives up to the hype

I wasn’t sure about reading Brandon Sanderson. I felt like the fandom was a bit culty but I give it to him. He is such a good writer and this story is captivating and full of so many emotions. I will be reading the next book anytime soon…
