Maddie is a great MC with badass slingshot skills. I must say that I saw the plot twist a mile off, but it didn't take away my enjoyment when it eventually played out.
With his latest book, he's clearly outdone his own freakishly scary-good standards. And, in years to come, he'll be heralded as one of the very elite authors to have ever penned a letter in the genre.
In the place of complex characters and elaborate settings, the author builds on the magic system and the world lore, both of which are done fairly well.
I do not believe that I could have reduced the overall length to any extent without sacrificing core story elements, and indeed I did not want to do that.
The plot becomes more complex here as the author continues from where he left off in Words of Radiance. So far, I have a feeling the main storyline is yet to start.
