Opis
埋藏了神話殞落的祕密，
數世紀後，
四個截然不同的命運之人即將交會，
古老的榮光將再度閃耀，或是徹底死寂？
我，存在於古老久遠的最後寂滅之前，
那是個神將拋棄我們、燦軍騎士背叛我們之前的年代。
那時魔法仍籠罩於世上，人們的心中依然有榮光閃耀，全世界曾經屬於我們。
然而我們卻失去了它。
數個靜默荒寂的世紀過去，一切開始有了改變，
神佑的聖器將重返，古老的魔法將回歸
而那四人是開啟舊日榮景的關鍵之鑰。
第一人原本是醫者，卻被迫放下療癒之手，成為雙手血腥、扼殺生命的士兵；
第二人是刺客，卻為了被他謀害的人們而落淚；
第三人是騙徒，一名披上學者外衣卻擁有盜賊之心的年輕女子；
第四人是戰將，卻對戰鬥不再渴望，眼睛始終望見過去的魅影。
他們其中之一會帶來救贖，
而一人將會傾天覆地。

I read this book in two parts so I'm just going to do a review for both of them here.
It definitely took a while for me to get into it, as there's a LOT of world building that happens throughout and a lot of terminology you're thrown into in the very early stages of getting to know the plot and characters which is something I'm less used to. Once the plot got going it was fantastic, especially at the end (of Part 1 as well as the whole book) where it hit climax after climax and I was HOOKED. It's been a while since I've read it, but I distinctly remember especially loving Shallan's confrontation with Jasnah and revealing that she could see Shadesmar. I also got so excited when one of the interludes mentioned that spren know when they are being measured and can be entangled! I think the magic system in the series is fascinating but having it include quantum stuff made it especially fun for me.
I think it's a really well written book with a fantastic lore and in depth social/cultural and magic systems you get to explore, and I love how I feel like I know absolutely nothing about how everything works even though we're presented with it as the normal way for this world to be. There are so many questions set up naturally as part of the world-building that every small reveal feels exciting.
