Despite calling it one of Sanderson's best works, the tone of this review suggests that you find the novel to be, perhaps, a step above trash.

I was going to piggy back my review as a comment in yours, but I think I'll post mine later today as a separate thread.


I find, what's the term? "Popcorn novels?", to be two steps above trash :P

It was also written as a retort of sorts to some discussions on Westeros, where I also copy/pasted this review, thus some references to who may love and who may find it more of the same. Doesn't help when I write it after reviewing the latest Eco ;)

Yes, he's a clearly step above Goodkind or Dan Brown. - 08/11/2011 05:54:24 PM 587 Views
