My first Brandon Sanderson! Is it my last? Probably not but I did find it incredibly hard to connect with his book emotionally. There was something flat about it despite the good storyline and somewhat compelling characters. It has shown me how many fantasy books have been influenced by Sanderson’s work, but also how far fantasy has come as a genre in the last 20 years. I would like to read his latest work to see how it compares, but I’m not sure if I will continue with the Misborn series for now.
