It is my favorite single book of his. Jacob Send a noteboard - 09/08/2010 02:10:00 PM
This is my continuing problem with his books. He's got the story, and cool secondary world elements, but his characters always feel empty.


I felt that there were a couple good characterizations in both Mistborn and in Warbreaker. With WoK, Sanderson has created several deeper, complex characters. It is actually the strong point of the novel.
