I actually don’t think any other author could have repeated this. While this doesn’t stylistically copy what Jordan did and there are slight rough edges it’s very very well written and tightly paced. And it still feels like the wheel of time (but seen from a somewhat different perspective).

Damn! There are just scenes after scenes of mind blowing things happening. 2-3 of these would be enough to deem a book legendary but this book doles such moments out every few chapters.

The pacing here is some of the best I’ve ever seen. There are several mind blowing scenes and things are moving along faster than most of the wheel of time books so far. There’s some slight glitch I’d say, in how characters act (or how they’re changing), to be expected since the author changed. Overall it’s shaping up quite nicely and I think the praise for the book isn’t unwarranted.

On one hand, beyond all surprise, I’m actually missing Robert Jordan’s lush prose - something I have struggled with for most of the books and ok with for the last few. On the other hand, there’s a unputdownable quality to it - thanks to Sanderson’s immaculate pacing. All the fat is gone. Things are moving quickly. I really think there would have been 3-4 more books had Jordan been able to finish this series.
