First. I am not a big fan of fantasy. I only know a few that I love. Admittedly I have not read many. I seem to have had bad luck time and again with choosing them to read.
I wonder, was this a good choice for my first Brandon Sanderson book?
To be honest, I am a bit sorry that these characters had to be in a fantasy book. I want them in a realistic fiction book now. In particular Tress, of course. She seems too real, too human, to live in a place like this.
I got bored about halfway through the book. Bored enough to skim, not bored enough to lay the book down. Actually I could not lay it down. So much it rather interfered with my work. (Captivated, but not in love. There is a difference.) The book got better before very long.
I feel like I didn’t get much out of this book, overall. A quick read, yes it was amazing, and maybe someday I will be back for Sanderson.
After I get over this weird haunt of spores.
It just doesn’t make sense.
I know, I know, that’s not the point. But—HOW?

(Oh, and by the way, my brothers had never thought of naming their nail clippings.)

(Okay fine, neither had I.)
