Idk what to say I hated this book till 85%. Who wants to read about stacking rocks, religion and paint? It was boring but I pushed through because it was a book club pick. The last 15% was good I liked the ending. Does that make up for the dumpster fire I read the first 85% no, no it does not. Sadly this was my first Brandon Sanderson and I'm still holding hope for his other works. I'm actually mad I voted for this one for my book club. I feel like I wasted 3 days.
