What I did love about the book was that it had a lot more humor in it than his other books, or at least, it seemed that way to me. Lightsong was my favorite character, and I admit I pictured Rupert Everett spouting his dialogue the whole time (nice mental picture, yes?). <br /><br />I noticed that Sanderson got married while writing this one, and I wonder if that's why he spent so much time describing Blushweaver's enormous bosoms. I admit I got a good laugh out of Siri's act for the priests that were listening in on her and Susebron, although I was surpised Sanderson included it. <br /><br />I didn't compare it too much to Mistborn, probably because I forget stuff so quickly after I read it. I did feel by the end that he was taking advantage of the "don't trust anyone" plot, so, although I was sad about Bluefinger's betrayal, I wasn't all that surprised. <br /><br />Anyway, I enjoyed it enough to read it in 2 days (partly because I have to return it to the library by Saturday). Whatever the flaws are, his writing still exceeds the skills of the other fantasy writers I've read. Oh, and he really does know how to write women (saying this makes me think of As Good As it Gets). I wonder if he grew up with a lot of awesome sisters.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765577345097519255noreply@blogger.com
