I was just doing a casual reread of OB and looking over Shallan's sketches of Urithiru while it was occupied by Re-Shephir
and realized this sequence might've been intended to evoke a sense of dread in the reader.
A lot of the Unmade would've been pretty terrifying: Re-Shephir, Moelach, Ashertmarn... but they don't really invoke any emotion in me aside from curiosity.
Is Brandon just bad at invoking a sense of looming dread, that mash of horror and mystery?
Because I feel like when there's a more human aspect to the dread, he does it well: the fountain executions in Mistborn.
What do y'all think?
