Brandon Sanderson does not miss. Another great book by him, all the issues I had with my previous book were fulfilled and then some. All the characters motives are clear and well developed and the ones that aren't are done purposefully so. The biggest draw (hehehe) for me for this book was the world building. I love how well Sanderson goes into explaining the world and how the magic functions and builds a world around that system rather than have that system placed into a world. The writing is good and the plot is good as well. The pacing was perfect always making me want to read more. I really liked how things didn't just go well for the main character, at the start of the book he has a dream and a want and while he gets so close by the end of the book even though he still wants and dreams of the same things not having gotten them yet, he is more content with the way things are. My only issue was that the second book isn't out yet
