    If it were a glorification of that concept, then sure, but it’s not. Most of the time spent on that particular bit of world building it to point out what a stupid system it is.

        It’s very good if you’re into high fantasy. It’s a time investment, though. 6500 pages and counting.

            It’s funny. My introduction to his work was the ending to Wheel Of Time, which I found pretty disappointing. So I avoided his books for a long time. I finally broke down and read Mistborn, and now I’ve been reading Sanderson stuff almost exclusively for a couple years.
