I never write reviews, but I feel the need to encourage everyone on the fence about this one to Read It. This year Ive blown through Wheel of Time, Mistborn, Way of Kings, and a few other amazing series.. I was super invested in this world by the end of book 1 in a way I wasn’t with the others. Better? I’m not sure, but gdmnit if it isn’t a toss-up. Read it. It’s great.
