You can see the vast city walls, forests, snowlands, and country scenery as vividly as if you were watching it on the big screen in 4K.

Amish Tripathi has created a magnificently crafted historical and mythological fantasy that’s decadent, passionate, wondrous, and full of lore.

A well-detailed, well-described, and elaborate fantasy setting with dark prose, beautiful and vivid descriptions of characters, and meticulous and immersive world-building.

The antiheroes make you root for them! Their gritty, dark deeds blend with their odd but righteous sense of justice.

I can confidently say that the Stormlight Archive’s magic system is the best I’ve ever seen in Fantasy Fiction.

I commend the willingness to use far more original cultural elements than in book one. It gives the book a semblance of originality, which I greatly appreciate

… the author probably outdid himself this time. His much-lauded magic system is on show here once again, as it was in Foundryside and Divine Cities

The comradeship and romance in this book were well executed, and I was pleased to see the fight scenes and the magic system well-depicted.

Like the first book, the writing is fluid and contains meticulously detailed world-building, characterizations, and an extremely gripping plot.

One way or the other, the women in this book, no matter what their situation was, rallied and took control of their damn lives!!

Kuku had successfully brought over the majority of the Assembly to his line of thinking with a combination of articulate arguments and timely assassinations.
