I’m hoping that rereading a favorite will drag me out of this major reading slump

Is he intentionally mimicking concepts from The Wheel of Time? So far, it’s eerily similar in tone, writing style (duh, WoT 12-14), and world building mechanics. And having the EXACT same narrator duo as the hefty WoT series (read a little over a year ago) has me confusing plot lines.
So far, no braid tugging or page long descriptions of clothing though, so it’s definitely WoT 2.0

I'm really enjoying it already. The world is stunning.

I completely agree. I loved Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogies, but I’m blown away by the world building - the sheer number of distinct cultures is on par with Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.I’m usually not a fan of large battle scenes where the writing invariably loses sight of the bigger picture (or sets aside character building in favor of carnage and, invariably, notions of valor). So far, The Way of Kings has lured me into battle after clever battle, carving ample space for character development.
