Wow. I loved this book, and I was sad that it ended because I wanted more. I will definitely be checking out more from this author!

Fun! Much more engaging and enjoyable than the Willie Nelson memoir. Was funny to read - reminded me a lot of myself and of stories we'd tell/share after ACM meetings in college. He was a bit of a rebel in the system, and so easy to root for. And he was socially capable, mischievous, etc. Fun!

Lady gets her own book! It was nice to get into Lady's head. She is pragmatic, ruthless and self-ware, but she is still human. As far as books go - this one stayed interesting from cover to cover. The plot is constantly being driven forward, with lots of smaller arcs advancing along the way. This book brings back some familiar characters, but Longshadow's identity (if one of the Taken) is still a secret. I liked how even though the primary wizards are stuck in Dejagore, we still get to see some talents being exercised by other potent characters.

I feel like the switch in author really made a difference. There was a lot more jumping between characters in this book, and the chapters were shorter. This made the book seem to pass by faster even though it was longer than a few of the preceding books. Not a lot of dull moments, though it is frustrating to watch Rand turn into even more of an asshole.

So much action. The only thing I didn't like was Sanderson's style of switching between characters within one chapter. As far as I remember, Jordan didn't switch between characters nearly as often in the earlier books. Maybe it was necessary, but it was annoying being left with constant cliffhangers.

Interesting, with a weird ending (similar to the end of the Foundation series.) I liked the use of time dilation as a plot element, and the prologue highlighted the parallels with the Vietnam War, which was also interesting. After reading this, I got the feeling that sci-fi writers aren't good writers, but they are creative writers. The plot draws you in, not the characters. Then a magical shared consciousness arrives and ends the war.

A huge change in genre from the books I'd most recently read before now. This was an interesting semi-biographical yet still fictional account of John Franklin, an Arctic explorer with what we might call today a sensory processing disorder. He's smart, just slow. I especially liked his time spent as Governor in Tasmania, because it showed his character and his willingness to do what he believed was right in spite of resistance from people that benefitted from the status quo.
