So this is my second Sanderson series (Mistborn was first). He weaves and dances around and really make the reader engaged. This one is, not watered down, but less. Its also YA so it should be! It is an easy read, not complicated twists, but they are still there. Yet again another novel take on a genre as well! My review of 5 stars is for what it is, a great YA book and not a comparison to his other “adult” works. Great YA book and a great way to “test the waters” of Sanderson.

What an ending... or last book of the series! Many books jump to answers and the reader is at a loss for an explanation, not here. All the clues were right in front of my face the entire time. You can tell this book was planned out. Things that happened in the first chapters of the first book make so much impact and are wrapped up unlike any other series I have read. It ends not as expected, or as I expected, but was brilliant. Really would like to know how Sanderson did this! No question about it, I will read his other series.

While I loved this book, it was not as good as either De Vinci or Angels and Demons. The pace was great and it made me think, but there seemed to be more unneeded plot twists then in the previous books. Dont get me wrong, I loved it and will read his next without doubt.. I just think Brown set the bar very high with his last 2 books.
