This is not a book I would recommend to anyone I know. The characters are flat, magic solves all problems and the exposition is overwhelming. And this is not even going into the view the author has on male and female differences. All women are strong, intelligent, never deceitful. The men are aggressive and just good for manual labour. Overall just not my kind of book.

It's a very short but fun book to read. The magic system is as usual for Sanderson unique and fascinating.
