It is a good book series but when reading it you can tell the audiance level is a little lower than most of his other books... Still a good read though and well worth it. You can definately tell it is one of his books just by the feel of the storyline.
I'm not sure if ALL powers is correct or not. I don't think he could use the powers in Elantris, though I suppose he may have been able to use them but just didn't. I do think he can use, at least, most of the powers though.
Hmmm, a hardcover copy.... count me in for an entry. Might buy a copy for myself, would guess they'll sell out fast, but could always give my purchased copy as a christmas gift for a friend who introduced me to Sandersons work if I were to win.
