Final stretch. The writer made a decision that will cost him at the time of scoring, but the story is still excellent and I'm looking forward to the final resolution.

Oh no! Heartbreak.

What I've learned from reading Sanderson so far (only 1.5 books, but I don't think I'm wrong):

His plots are tight, but he's in no rush to resolve them. He's got a story to tell, and you buying the entrance ticket means you wanna sit through it for a long as it takes.

I was starting to get a little anxious about the "speed" of the story development, but understanding this has made me sit back and enjoy the ride.

I'm liking that Sanderson weaves through science fiction and fantasy seamlessly. I also very much enjoy his worldbuilding, and the unique worlds that are created with just a few key details.

You're in my body! No, you're in MY body! And my planet! And you're a boy! And you're a girl!

Also, spirits and semi-corporeal nightmares.

Liking it a lot.

I enjoyed Tess of the Emerald Sea, so I jumped into this second standalone Cosmere novel.
