The writing in this book is terrible. Brandon Sanderson can come up with interesting worlds, lore, and magic systems, however he thinks the reader is far too stupid to understand and make connections on their own so he has to spell it out for you multiple times. He even goes so far as to tell you that a scene and object is a metaphor and a symbol. The prose is so matter of fact and the characterize of these characters is done so sloppily. He thinks he’s gonna get you with the big plot twist in the end but I honestly think this book demonstrates his lack of talent and skill with the written word.
