How long would the winners have between the time they recieved the book to the time the review would Tashmere Send a noteboard - 09/08/2010 03:27:26 AM
be due? I would be very interested in getting to review the book but I wouldn't want to promise something that I couldn't deliver.

On the other hand, having a deadline and assignment is the best way to motivate myself. Also my best mental reviews of books come as I am reading them not after I am finished.After the book is over, the reviews I have been makingup in my mind seem to dissolve. Or turn to smoke and float away and I can't grab it.

Maybe I should just set my pride aside and sort of blog as I read a book like I have wanted to do many times rather than wait until it is finished.

I have read four of his other books. The reason that I enjoyed them was his ability to let the reader inside of the character's head and to see things from their view point. That I actually cared about Hrathen was when I realized that Sanderson was someone that I could really like. He cares about his characters. They aren't just plot devices. Sanderson understands that people are often beloved because of their flaws rather than in spite of their flaws.
