This is around 4.5/5 stars for me.

This was so good. I have no idea how Brandon Sanderson managed to make me care so much and love a character in such a short amount of pages. Idk why, but this kinda gave me 'The Empress of Salt and Fortune' vibes, only better. I love that this was clearly influenced by other magic systems in the Cosmere, despite it being set on Sel, the same world that Elantris is set in. I *love* Shai, I really hope we get to see more of her. The magic system was STUNNING, and left me in awe.

Ugh Sanderson just never misses.
