Fantastic book. Expanded so much of what we know, and was the perfect Empire Strikes Back-esque middle book in this series. Looking forward, though, I really hope Sanderson doesn't kill Megan.... Again... in book 3. 1.) I would be very upset, and, more importantly, 2.) I have to believe he is a better writer than to kill the same character three times in a row in three subsequent books. He killed her once. It was devastatingly well written. She came back, it was equally joyful and problematic. She is killed again, seemingly for real, and is reincarnated in a much more literal rebirth as a better, stronger, more independent character. Those two deaths were well played and worked, but if then, at the end of this, she ends up dead... It just feels unnecessary, and diminishing to the value of those first two deaths, and purely to make people sad. I want to believe it won't happen, but there is a certain level of genre savvy in me that thinks it might.
