Holy shiznets, Sanderson, holy shiznets.Let me just tell you: if you started reading this book and were confused and lost and discouraged in the beginning, you probably want to keep going because this is an oh-my-gods-what-beautiful-perfection book.It drags you into the plot and the perfectly real, ...
I would have given it four stars, but the ending was really abrupt and less polished than the rest of the book, which sort of ruined the experience for me.
3.5 stars. This review originally posted at The BibliosanctumIt's official.
