Sanderson followed up his worst book ever (Frugal Wizard) with imho the best thing he's written.
I found the concepts in this book and the “magic” system to be very unique. IMO this is secretly a sci-fi book masquerading as a fantasy. Overall some neat twists and ends the book off in a satisfying way yet promises even more to come.
Nothing actually happens in this book. It's just the same thing over and over with a toxic and completely unlikeable main character. And then it just ends without resolution in an open ending. I guess you could get something out of this if you're looking for commentary about the human condition, but at no point did this book entertain me.
I have to say I wasn't pulled in like the previous book. I figured out some major twists within the first few chapters so the rest of the book became a slog waiting for the narrative to catch up. Also there were really questionable relationship decisions that occurred?? Also also a lack of Orion screen time. I did like the ending and the atmosphere of the book so not a complete dud, but leaving the magic school left some of the magic out of the story too.
