This book is all of those things and more. It is both a great story in its own right and also an amazing opening chapter to a giant series. It introduces us to a fantastic world full of complex characters, and I can’t wait to see where the series is going.
I don’t know how to describe this book, but I can say with confidence that I loved it. 4.5 stars

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

Wish there was a glossary or something with a names of people and places and how to say them. I think it would make the reading experience easier and more enjoyable for a wider audience.
