I had purchased this book about 15 months ago, and finally read it. At the time I had recently learned that Sanderson would be continuing the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series.

Where I will give Mr Sanderson credit is for his world building. He had created a fantasy world with unique features that we haven't seen in anyone else's work.

However about halfway through the novel the book hit a horrible point. It became boring! The plot started moving slugglishly. I tried to continue, but each time I picked up the book, it made me want to fall asleep or set it aside. Thankfully I put the book down for good and moved back to another author whose work I am familiar with.
