If this book didn't have BRANDON SANDERSON across the top of the cover, I'd be sorely tempted to put it aside. The premise feels flimsy and forced. The prose uninspired, at best. I'm willing to give Sanderson a longer shot than others though. It remains to be seen if this book falls to the 'meh' mediocrity of Alloy of Law or rises to the brilliance of The Emperor's Soul. Recent Sanderson has been of varying quality.
