This is the first of a projected ten book epic fantasy series by Sanderson. I'd been holding off on starting it because I wanted him to get a few more books under his belt. He has now released book three, Oathbringer, and my husband finished his massive listen of the entire Wheel of Time series and ...

This was a really fun read and the only criticism that I can offer is I felt that he could have closed a few more plot points raised in the story than he did.

Mistborn was pretty good, but I didn't get extremely excited about it. This, however, was so much better. I feel like I finally understand why people are so impressed with Brandon Sanderson. I wasn't sure about this when I read the prologue. It was just very surreal and confusing, but once I go...

This is my reaction...despite the fact that: 1. This book is over 1000 pages long. 2. About 75% of this book was buildup and history for the next book 3. It's part of a dreaded series. 4. This book is over 1000 pages long! Why? Because the world building that was displayed is amazing. I mean....

Brandon Sanderson's new big series, The Stormlight Archive follows several different viewpoints of people in a world where powerful 'highstorms' scour the land regularly. As is typical for a Sanderson book, the characters are fleshed out. One thing that stood out to me is that, like in The Lies ...
