Better than average? Now I'm really excited *NM* Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 19/11/2012 08:48:31 PM
I thank you for the review. Sanderson is most definitely not a "meta" type writer for me, as in somebody who makes me put the book down and go "huh." Nope, Sanderson is very good entertainment. This book sounds right up my alley :)

Actually, compared to his other books, this one is better than average. Considering how the "entertainment" aspect doesn't appeal to me all that much and his flaws are magnified based on what he could have done with this concept, that perhaps is a backhanded compliment to him ;)

Although there are uneven moments, I think his work accomplishes a shade more than the other two Larry - 20/11/2012 06:11:34 AM 764 Views

I don't think it's very accurate to call Dance with Dragons a "CoT". Legolas - 20/11/2012 07:53:59 PM 720 Views
