You should be used to these massive books by now. You read the telephone books peter Hamilton writes :-)
I stalled about 33% of the way through. I only liked the soldier guy. What's the fascination with royalty in fantasy?
I'm actually quite enjoying it so far, though I've not been reading much due to editing and writing novels of my own on this trip. The soldier guy is cool so far. I'm not so interested in the artist woman. Is it just their stories? It seems an overly massive novel for just two points of view.
I didn't know it was the first book in a series though. Thankfully I trust Sanderson to write a self-contained first novel in a series. At least I Think I do.
It's really good, but you have to go into it with the right mindset.I might do a fan-edit, and chop out all the Shallan parts, leaving just the stuff that happens at the battle field. Then read the Shallan bit as a novella. I think it would be better that way.
