The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series and his skill at marshalling epic storylines and dramatic action, his ability to create vivid characters made him a natural choice to complete Robert Jordan's epic wheel of time sequence.

Completely unexpected. Sanderson usually doesn't suffer from issues where one book is simply a bridge to the next book...but this one is it. I enjoyed the characters, especially how Steris has developed, but was really frustrated with the "New abilities". When you establish boundaries for a story, it's very frustrating when the story constantly breaks those boundaries. Interesting book, but complete frustration: new things! Oh he didn't die! He did die, but not when you thought he did! Oh, obvious character reveal!
