  1. This, so much. The inability to think critically or examine works we love or really like makes blind raving fanboys/girls. The ability to critically think, examine and even disagree politely is what makes the Sanderson community so special.
  2. Overall I would say 8/10. I only subtracted one point for cheezy dialogue, and one point for Lift being grating. I think we all know that dialogue isn't one of Sanderson's strong points, but not all authors write lovely, florid, purple prose like Rothfuss. If they did, we would never get this book. This is just personal preference, but Lift is irritating, she drives me crazy, and any time she is on screen, I find myself wanting a DIY chopstick lobotomy. I have a very dry sense of humor, and find the scene with the bridgemen discussing Drehy courting a man much more humorous than Lift's butt references. But of a book this length, and those were the only things I could fault? That's pretty brilliant, and they just come down to personal taste. But can we talk about the mysteries that were solved? The answers we got? It makes me really excited for the reveals in the next two volumes, I cannot wait to find out what is going down next! Plotting, structure and purposefulness are what I adore about Sanderson, and why I read him, and this book delivers.
  3. Wit hugging Shallan and making her feel better after the kid died, I cried for the first time during a book, in a long long time. She needed someone to see HER, and she needed that so bad. It really humanized Wit/Hoid/whomever to me, because before this moment, he was an ever-changing-sometimes-helpful-jerkface. I idendify with Shallan's brokenness so much, I haven't felt like this about a character since Asuka in Evangelion.
