The Bands of Mourning

I thought this was the best in the series. Every character we know so far get time for their own stories among the main plot. I'm particularly fond of Steris and was pleased to see her find her place and become just as heroic as her companions using her powers of list making and over thinking. There are some new mysterious characters that don't get explored much, but I suspect we may see them again in future books. Readers of Sanderson's other books (Elantris, Tress, Warbreaker, Stormlight archive) will find these characters particularly interesting. The ending was emotional and beautiful. There were a few tears on my end. I thought about it for weeks after, I don't think it was really... fair? good though.

Still haven't got over the shock of this book. Years from now, the publication of this along with Secret History will be regarded as the start of the Cosmere in true terms. It also sows the seeds for the future series as well with characters wondering about things like red shift.
