The Layered Page
After "The Emperor's Soul" this was my first real novel of Sanderson, and I am blown away. It is a self-contained world, with such an intruiging yet focused world design, revolving around contrasts and the theme of art and how it interacts with the spiritual world. The characters are so lovable, their struggles relatable and alltough a slow start it is real page-turner as you root for them. I am honest, I did not expect the ending. Without avoiding too many spoilers, there is a mystery tieing the two character's together, and it's "solution" I would have never imagined. I even had a tear in my eye for the final few moments.
Not many books manage to do that.
