My lowest rated Sanderson book. Didn't work for me at all. Almost gave up on finishing this, but the second half just dragged on similarly. After reading [b:Tress of the Emerald Sea|60531406|Tress of the Emerald Sea (The Cosmere)|Brandon Sanderson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1672574587l/60531406.SY75.jpg|95396305] as the first secret novel, I was quite excited about the second one. I thought all 4 were Cosmere novels, and was slightly disappointed when I had the cover spoiled for me a few days before launch.
