Not too much has actually happened, but something keeps me coming back. I don't think Sanderson hit the "growth spurt" for his prose JUST yet, because average scenes, actions scenes, dialogue, etc. and the transitions between feel a little same-y and slightly clunky. Thus, I'm guessing what keeps me coming back is his excellent worldbuilding, not to mention his improving character work compared to earlier books.

How am I already 61 pages into this book after what I think was half an hour? Maybe this brands me as slow-witted, but are they just short or something?

Matthew LaRow Interesting observations. I started to read this book and got to page 160 and gave up. Mainly for the reasons you’ve said. Keep me updated on how it goes (without revealing plot).


Philip Kneller Gladly.
