a review, of sorts

I just finished reading The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson. By the end I couldn't put it down, so that should speak for itself. But actually, it took me a couple of weeks to get into it. I read only a couple of pages at a time and wasn't really sure if I'd read the whole thing.

My problem? The world Sanderson has created is just so different from ours. It's rich in detail and culture and such, but my goodness it's complicated at first. It was overwhelming. By about 1/4 of the way through I had it figured out enough to really enjoy the story and characters, so I'm really glad I persevered, but it really took a while.

That's actually all I'm going to say. You should read it.
