I had a hard time believing in Kestral's drug-induced amnesia, especially since it was right from the beginning and permeated throughout the entire book. It felt like a plot device that didn't work at all. Anytime a problem arose where the only issue was the fact that she didn't remember, the convenience of not having a resolution, in order to go do (insert bad decision/dangerous thing here) really irked me. It took me out of the book so much at times that I just eye-rolled into no man's land.
But I really love Arin and his god of death, I really love Roshar. I needed more Sarsine, and Risha, and Verex ALWAYS. This series surprised me in many ways, for a book with girls in froo-froo dresses on the cover.
