So I went back to the bookstore and read the first couple of pages, and they were interesting enough that I bought the ebook, and then ended up finishing the trilogy. I just recently read my first Diskworld novel.)īut it made me a little more curious, since I knew this was a Big Deal in the fantasy world. (Yes, I've heard they're epic and awesome and all that, and someday I probably will read the first book, at least, but it takes a lot to make me want to get invested a series that now comprises over twelve books. Which didn't really mean much to me I've never read any of the WoT books. Then I happened to see the author's name again online: apparently he'd been tapped to finish Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

So I left it on the shelf yes, I do judge books by their covers, and while this one was kind of intriguing, anything that makes me think the author is probably novelizing the AD&D games he played as a kid gets a 'pass' from me. So, I had never heard of Brandon Sanderson before, but the first book in the trilogy caught my eye on the bookstore shelves for some reason:Īt first glance, it looked like a fairly typical fantasy novel with a bad-ass assassin-looking chick on the cover.

I'm really interested in comments from anyone else who has read it. The first part is spoiler-free everything after the second lj-cut will be full of spoilers, as I'll discuss everything about the trilogy, including the ending.
