This book served as a good introduction to the world of Roshar. Technically half a book (due to being a split edition), this was never really intended to stand alone, and Sanderson says as much in an afterword at the end of the edition. This means that the course of the story reaches an unsatisfying conclusion, but that isn't something that it could be faulted for. I really enjoyed reading this, it was somewhat slow to read but nonetheless really well written. I'll write a proper review of the whole story once I read Part 2 but I enjoyed this, especially the parts from Kaladin's POV, and I'm looking forward to continuing reading in Part 2
