Around page 400, something interesting and unexpected happens. Before that, there's a whole lot of the same, particularly of characters rehashing the same sentiments about their situations.

This is now the third Sanderson book I've read. The only one I was really impressed with was "The Emperor's Soul." I've come to the conclusion that, although he comes up with really interesting, creative, unique premises, Sanderson lacks the storytelling ability to maintain my engagement for anything longer than a novella.
