This is turning out to be one of those books you need to set aside big blocks of time for reading, because there's so much to absorb, you can't do it in 10-minute bites when you have a break.
Lovely language.
Great world-building.

Whew! Lots of useful information.
Great comparisons and examples.
For those who plan ahead in great detail, this is a wonderful tool -- help with plotting, avoiding a lot of rewriting and revising and those moments of "Dang, my character is fighting me. She wouldn't do/say that, but I need her to do/say that for the sake of the plot!"
Going to refer to this book a LOT in the future.

Good for Vin -- confessing to her friends, at least, about the hitch in her rare magical talent.
Keeping secrets from people until it's too late, and the complications that follow, is an over-used trope, in my opinion, but the book would be a whole lot shorter if people would just confess and get things out in the open, y'know?
Loving the story.

And just what is the new kid's secret?

Yes, I'm reading several books at the same time. This is an audiobook, for when I'm driving around or walking the dog. Dawnsinger is on my nightstand. And Once BItten is being featured as promotion for a new release. Hey, I legitimately read this one -- multiple times! That's what you do when you're assembling anthologies.

Looking forward to this next book in the Last Hope series. Thoroughly enjoyed book 1.

I got this book in a big basket of books by a group of authors, and I'm ashamed to say all of them have been buried in my to-be-read bookcase for a couple years.

Dove into the book a couple days ago, and I'm delighted. Just wish I had MORE time to read.

The world-building is amazing. I need to read slowly, to savor and learn.

Lanie has too much to do as Christmas swiftly approaches. Figuring out who's out to either drive her insane or kill her was not on her list.
Is it the boy whose life she saved, or the evil force who pushed him to that suicidal stunt four years ago?
