I jumped into this head first, blind as a bat, and came out on the other side with a new thriller author on my list of greats. Damn, what a book!

There we have it! The fourth and last book in Brandon Sanderson's secret four-books-a-year kickstarter project - and what a book it is! I think I've mentioned in every review of the three other kickstarter projects so far, that I was not well-versed in Sanderson's writing and his many, many universes. I'd read Skyward (my...
