Book Rating
Incredible world-building. A fascinating magic system, and great lore. (2 more)
Great characters, with believable backstories and motivations.
Female protagonist who feels real, flawed, and is relatable.
At times, the action/combat scenes can be hard to follow. Not to say they aren't gripping, it can just be a confusing flurry of motion. (0 more)
A Welcome Surprise
Honestly, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did, as I bought it on a whim based on positive discussion around the author, Sanderson. I took this with me on a holiday, and spent 2 days pouring over the pages - it totally sucked me in!

Initially I found the book hard to get into, just for the sheer amount of information to take in, however when I got over this hump I was sucked in.
I loved the protagonist, Vin. I found her very believable and easy to root for. Without spoiling anything, her story is amazing to follow. She's not a Mary Sue, has her flaws and even failures.
In general, I loved the characters - even the hateable ones, I loved to hate them.

The world-building is incredibly extensive and enjoyable. The lore is fascinating, and this book left me dying to find out more. I ordered the follow-up book while I was still on my holiday, so that it would arrive once I landed home!

Overall I definitely recommend this book for fantasy fans.
