A masterpiece. Nearing the end of this book while tensions and stakes were high, I found myself crying with emotions beyond simple sorrow. I cried with anticipation, knee bouncing up and in down in a mad fervor. Unraveled denouements lashed tears from my eyes like cracks of a whip. I felt so deeply for each and every character in these pages. I will continue to agonize over those who were lost, while my affections for those who are left shall bloom everlasting. I cannot wait to continue on reading more from Brandon Sanderson.
