With a blend of suspense, adventure, and philosophical musings, it leaves them eager for the next chapter while pondering the limits of power and the strength of the human spirit.

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.
