i literally could not put this down. i spend EVERY SECOND of my freetime reading this book. i forgot to eat, drink, sleep, live, because all that mattered was what happened next!!! i thought all of the people praising Brandon Sanderson must be exaggerating, but somehow he made me read over 1000 pages in just a few days and then immediately jump into another 1000 pages. i fear this might be my next hyperfixation...
6/5 stars honestly

The world is lively and characters are their own people; all done without any sign of lore dumps or sacrificing the story in any way.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though I understand how it can be overwhelming; at times a diagram of character dependencies was needed, especially at the start of Part Two: The Illuminating Storms.
Looking back, not that much has happened in this book, but while reading everything seemed so important. Even the smallest details were significant and that made the journey of discovering Roshar along with the characters so thrilling
Can’t wait for more of the Girlboss Duo
