I honestly don’t know where to start wit how bad this book is. I had to stop after 12 chapters. The etymology is bland and leaves nothing to the imagination. Sanderson describes his characters the same way over and over. The worst is that introduced Zane as being insane( how creative) and immediately stated that he was insane, and restated this every time the character was introduced or talked about by other characters. The Kandra, which seemed interesting, were only brought in as chapter buffs. I had hoped that Sanderson would be a better offer after finishes the Wheel of Time, but I’m greatly dissatisfied.
Like many, I first read The Lord of the Rings at a young age, around twelve or thirteen. I was immediately grasped by the depth of character that Tolkien wrote on every page, not just the elves and dwarves, but from Mirkwood Forest, Rivendell, and the Mines of Moria. Tolkien created not only an immersive world rich with deep, articulate detail but also created history and mythology for this world.
The Fellowship of the Ring follows Sam, Frodo, and company as they take up the quest of destroying the One Ring: the object keeping the Dark Lord Sauron from controlling the whole of Middle Earth with his armies of men, orcs, and Uruk-hai. Tolkien creates themes of good vs evil, courage, selflessness, free will, and fate as the Fellowship marches to save destroy the One Ring, and save Middle Earth.

A coming of age story focused around a young boy named Jamie Conklin, Stephen King pens a page-turning, horror meets hard crime story that returns fans to King's early style of storytelling. Jamie, son of literary agent Tia Conklin, can see the dead. And when he speaks with them, they have no choice but to tell the truth, even if it isn't something Jamie wants to hear. When a serial bomber strikes New York City, Jamie is forced to help a detective to stop the bomb from going off by asking the one man who built it. But will this ability turn out to be a gift or a curse? Is it better to leave the dead alone or is there more to death?
