Sanderson really knows how to hook you in with terms and premises you don’t full grasp yet, but can somewhat comprehend based on real-world comparisons and in-character reactions.

I love lacking an audience stand-in early on. Lacking verbose exposition. Let me be immersed into the mystery of the world. And slowly unravel it for me. Maybe I can even piece it together myself.
