Amid this backdrop, a cast of new heroes emerges, each grappling with their unique connections to the powerful forces that shaped their world. With action, intrigue, and profound themes of identity and purpose, this tale weaves together personal journeys and epic stakes, inviting readers back into a richly imagined universe.

Reviews

First read: 1/29/16 I want to give this book more than 5 stars because it not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. And I had pretty high expectations.

As with all of Sanderson's Cosmere, I thoroughly enjoyed this setting and the characters. Tress is a great young adult character with her growth excellently executed through the progression of the novel and the rest of our cast was filled with a variety of interesting individuals. I appreciated the inclusion of a Deaf and disabled character and the lovely sentiment of the book's lesson. Unfortunately, I found our narrator's rambling metaphors and similies and their vocabulary to constantly throw me out of the world.
