This book brings together all the characters that Sanderson worked so hard to build in book 1. These books are huge, but I have never, not once, been bored or wished I could skip over a chapter.

It’s hard for me to rate the first book in a multiple 1000 page book series 5 stars, but this comes close! This is my first Sanderson read, and I understand why so many fantasy lovers love his stories.

This series includes the Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest. Some original concepts and very interesting magic! Deep character development, but overall unsatisfying.
