I'm in the minority when I say that I wasn't obsessed with this book -- or series -- so far.
It's pretty straight to the point. I think my issue is the characters. I'm having a hard time connecting with them and their way of thinking. So, the characters still felt like they were lacking personality.
Although, towards the last 100 pages, I was enjoying the book a bit more because of the troubles they faced. It forced the characters to break their mold or take bold risks.
Out of everyone in this book, I enjoy Sazed. Perhaps it's because of his wise words or the fact that he is going through a major character arc towards the end of the book but yeah. I tolerate him for now- hahah.
Nonetheless, I will continue reading Brandon Sanderson's work because I know he's a great author and although, Tress and this series isn't a hit for me. I'm sure his other books will.
