Still getting more of the same. Plus so rather big departures to the realm of exposition as yet MORE worldbuilding takes precedence over story. Please strike a balance. An overall plot peeks in at the edges, but it is still too soon to do more than guess at.

lots of world building? check.
jumping to a new character with each chapter? check.
unpronouncable names? 'Tvlakv'? Seriously? check.
recognizable plot? none yet
That said, what I have read so far smooth and well-written. It's clean and inventive enough for me to give it a lot of chances to engage me.

Just started. My first Sanderson book. I am having a hard time connecting. I have no idea who these beings are in the prologue: They fight the same battle repeatedly and in between they are tortured? This sets me up for a world that looks like a grandiose "Groundhog's Day". I have lifted my feet in preparation to be taken away, that's all I can do on my own until the words grab me and pull me in.
