-Eland's Character development
-Majority of plot points unpredictable
-Wonderful Characters
-Unique cultures
-A magic system that (half)reminds me of David Farland's Runelords
Dislikes:
-Focuses mostly on politics (this is mostly for set up for the end of the book and book three but it still gets a bit slow)
-A few sentences of plot are repeated through this whole book so often that if feels like Sanderson is beating it into the reader's head.
-There are a number of minor plot points that are extremely predictable.
-Slower paced than the first book.
