Sanderson outperforms himself, if that's even possible! This book is epic beyond all proportions and this is my all time favorite (I have read every book in the cosmere series)! In a sense, it gives the reader a redemption to their own lives, a new perspective to look at the way we have lived and to better appreciate ourselves and those around us, flaws included. Expect the unexpected...actually embrace the journey where everything ties in and let that guide you to the spectacular conclusion of the first arc of the Stormlight series.
