Being the first published book by Brandon Sanderson, and one of his apparently weaker books by his own admission I went into this with somewhat low expectations but damn did this deliver and still manage to blow my expectations out of the water.- Strong characters with really good arcs- Plot was easy to follow with moral ambiguity - Hoid- Really kept you guessing as to what would happen nextSome big twists in here and just an overall really interesting world and setting. Sando has a huge imagination.
Took me a while to finish because it's both a chunky book and I've been busy in my personal life lately, but it was absolutely worth sticking with this book until the end.I knew going in that this was Sanderson's debut novel, my first Sanderson book and one that the community doesn't seem to favour all that much in comparison to his other books, so I was open minded as I read it, not expecting perfection on the first go.The first half of the book is a bit of a drag, a lot of political back and forth, world building and explaining just about everything. Which is usually common for long fantasy novels like this, but past the halfway mark, the book changes completely. Everything becomes much more intriguing, things start to come together and characters really start developing. I really loved all of the main characters, while enjoying some of the side characters (while others felt a little flat).Overall, a very good debut novel, one that I thoroughly enjoyed the latter half of. Especially the characters Hrathen and Galladon, they are my two favourites and I love them both equally....Even if Hrathen clearly has the absolute best character development overall. :)
