So, it's better than Warbreaker or Mistborn? Chas Send a noteboard - 06/08/2010 12:01:17 AM
also features Sanderson's best characterizations to date. The primary, and many of the secondary, characters feel fully realized, deep, flawed, weak and strong. The feel and tone of this novel... epic, truly epic.


This is my continuing problem with his books. He's got the story, and cool secondary world elements, but his characters always feel empty.
