What a massive chunker of a book for me. I have always shied away from Brandon Sanderson books because the commitment to 1k pages was just not my vibe. But it is my fiancés favorite series ever and I decided to face my fear. I enjoyed this book and the myriad of characters met along the way. There were plenty of reveals that I didn’t expect but was certainly a light bulb moment. Sanderson is known for his world building and while I can objectively appreciate and respect it, there were a handful of times I wished something HAPPENED besides world building through what I felt was infodumping through character dialogue/conversations. Overall, I enjoyed it and will continue the series.
