Half of this book is endless warfare with ninja turtles over gems inside monstrous snails told from the POV of a slave with depression.
Yes, he had depression before he became a slave.
Yes, you get to read all about it.
Yes, that is why it took me so long to finish.
In the same way great writers like Jane Austen and Cheryl Strayed can fill your heart with joy Sanderson can crush it.
It is hard picking up a book knowing you will feel worse when you put it down.
That said this book was epic. Not since Dune have I read a story that combined strong women, magic, politics, destiny, and an unknowable, deep sense of history.
Read it.
