5 Stars again on the re-read!
I read this book last year but then got so sidetracked with life that I didn't end up continuing the series. I'd been thinking of it recently so I wanted to jump back in but needed to refresh my memory first.
I'm newer to Sanderson so many of you already know what a fantastic author he is but let me just gush about him for a min.
Recently with fantasy I've been struggling a little. I have the tendency to fall victim to whatever is popular at the moment, call it FOMO if you want. It's really so freaking stupid because 9 outta 10 times, I just know I'm going to be disappointed but I go and read whatever is all the rage anyway.
I've read few fantasy books this year so far because of that. Which is a true and crying shame because fantasy is my absolute favorite. I've just been so let down by it recently.
Anyway, Sanderson has pulled me out of that funk and has made me feel 1000 times lighter because I really had this heavy disappointment that I've been carrying around this year when it comes to fantasy, world building and magic systems.
This man is really, in my very humble opinion- in a league of his own. So original and creative. Action packed and a real gem of a story.
The world building is chefs kiss, filled with vivid imagery. The magic system is so unique and interesting - the characters have depth and are so well rounded.
My physical books for this series are in storage right now so I decided to try the audios and good news, the audio version is remarkable!
I can't express how happy I am to dive into some quality fantasy this year and leave reality behind! Moving right on to book 2!

"The man who wants you to trust him is the one you must fear most."
"Our belief is often strongest when it should be weakest. This is the nature of hope."
"I'm not really sure why. But... do you stop loving someone just because they betray you? I don't think so. That's what makes the betrayal hurt so much - pain, frustration, anger...and I still loved her. I still do."

I've got a 2 and 4 week wait and I didn't even look at book 3 wait time. My physical books are in storage so I'm going to try the audio. I wonder if there's less of a wait for the kindle copy.
@Len thank you so much 🩵💕
