Just the right amount of “fucked up” to be considered a “good read”.

Missed the mark!

Had it not been a Harry Potter novel, I would've probably given it 4 stars. I think growing up reading Harry Potter just doesn't allow me to be so easily impressed with these new characters doing their fancy magic.
And Voldemort, you dawg!

And so the wait for the next book begins...

Meh!I shouldn't have to struggle so much to read a book that's supposedly great :

Expected much, much more.
Very promising first book nonetheless.

I can't even.


O, Brandon Sanderson, the gifted story teller, I forfeit the gift of intelligence to you.

Should you read books 4-7?

Love it or hate it, Randy is an inspiration.

I want to give this book five stars, I really do. It did everything right but the first three books of the series does steal the thunder from this one..

So many high points in this book. Especially the mention of...
(Oops, I won't say more, don't wanna spoil anything)

Brandon Sanderson has such an organic style of writing, you know the end product is going to be great but you know the reading process will be different and difficult even.
Thank you, Mr. Brandon, I truly do have a favourite author now.

A true American hero. So many ideas being thrown around in the market in the name of e-commerce is just simple digitization of Sam Walton's owned/borrowed ideas.
A very very interesting read this!

Was going to give it 3 stars, but then Brandon Sanderson put in those few magical words which had me scrambling for the next book!
Gahhh, this guy is really good at what he does!

In my opinion, this book is wrongly criticized. It does a lot of things right. The narrative is easy to follow, the emotions are genuine and makes a very pleasant read. If one does get to the end and not feel affected by the fate awaiting Bruno, heavens help us all.

Wow, never thought I would ever like a classic this much!
This book though ! There's a whole different world out there!

Ever get tired of the saying, “Good things happen to those who wait”? Well, this book is an embodiment of that very saying. The ending of this book, oh my god, blew my mind to shreds.
Unbelievable stuff from Sarah J. Maas. A recommended read indeed!!

This book changes you! This book talks about everything good and bad about today's world. You cannot finish this book without being thankful for all those things you take for granted in life. Really witty and though the book drags on a bit, it is definitely a good read.

Such a beautiful and innocent book. Sweet words and sweet people.
Ari, what a character made me laugh, made me smile and to my surprise made me weep too.
I will pick this book up again for sure!

Couldn't have ended any better. The author of this book definitely is one of the wittiest men alive. What started out as a fantasy novel, ended in a biblical fashion of sorts. This book taught me more about faith, belief and trust than any religious scripture(yeah, I've had my share of those too) out there.

Edit: After reading this for the 2nd time after nearly 5 years, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I loved it even more. Brandon Sanderson is an absolute genius. He has ruined the entire fantasy genre for me, no one else's writing comes close to his writing.

By the Lord Ruler!! Brandon Sanderson, delivers a smack of the wrist to people like me, people, who think they have the whole story all figured out and think they know the characters and their motivations.
I don't think any book has hurt me as much as this one, leaving me with a wounded pride.
Damn, it is unbelievable that books such as these remain unknown to the masses while disturbing pieces of literature(You-Know-Which(No, not Harry Potter, the other ones)) can be found in abundance everywhere. Sigh!

If you want to read something good.YOU MUST READ THIS.
The writing is so simplistic that people can misjudge it to be juvenile, and this is exactly what the author uses to lure you into his simple yet complex universe.

Wow, can't believe it took me so long to find a book that helped me finally get over Harry Potter/Eragon/Aragorn.
My my, no dragons, no elves, no magic yet a work of fantasy that deserves to be right there among the best.
And finally, it feels almost liberating to get a female protagonist like Vin, who unlike Katniss/Tris gets over the daze surrounding the responsibilities handed to her very quickly and takes it upon herself to try her very best.
Phew. Can't wait to see how this ends.

If one can spare a few hours to get to know their country a little better, this book is a start.
