Brandon Sanderson is quickly making his way to the table of fantasy greats. In many ways, he is also the epitome of everything we writers want to be. Not only has he already written over a dozen books–he had written almost all of them before he even sold his first. I meant to write this weeks ago, but it kept getting put off.

The entire Mistborn trilogy was fun and fast paced, this book was in particular. Sanderson wasn’t afraid of making some chapters very short, if it was enough to tell to the story. This made for a book that keeps you flipping chapter after chapter.

It’s well known that Sanderson is a religious man, really comes through in this final part of the series. Not that he is throwing his beliefs onto the reader, it is subtle and it is meaningful, and it is in no way imposing. The ending is perfect for this series. I won’t give away any spoilers, so don’t worry. I was very happy to see that many minor characters got their moment in the sun in this book though.

If you like high fantasy, you might as well start reading Brandon Sanderson. I think he will be around for a long time. His voice is unique and his grasp of the genre just gets better with each book. I look forward to his first epic series, which he just sold to Tor.
