Helpful Score: 1

I've read Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy as well as The Way of Kings, and I really do like his writing style. His dialogue is extremely well written, and his books keep you interested, and keep the pages turning. But nothing much really happens in this book. Lots of conversations about: should two nations go to war, how does the magic system work, and who really are the gods - conversations about these topics, with little action accompanying. The magic system is interesting, but not nearly as much so as his other creations in Mistborn and Stormlight. His writing saves the book, as he really is fun to read, but 200 pages in, and it will dawn on you that, well, very little is happening.
