There's a quick exchange between Wax and Lessie in the prologue that immediately made me think of those dreadful Shallan witticims in Way of Kings.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Sanderson fan, and I was able to mostly tolerate the Mistborn banter, but when I get to passages like

Way of Kings p. 459 posted:

"[The authors] feel more arrogant than confident to me," [Shallan] sighed, setting the book aside. "To be honest, 'arrogant' doesn't feel like quite the right word. It's not specific enough."
"And what would be the right word, then?"
"I don't know. 'Errorgant', perhaps."
Jasnah raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"It means to be twice as certain as someone who is merely arrogant," Shallan said, "while possessing only one-tenth of the requisite facts."
Her words drew a hint of a smile from Jasnah.

I feel like I need to take myself around back and :suicide:

. Even Kvothe wouldn't stoop to punning like this.

I'd very much like to think the hint of a smile came from the mental image of catapulting Shallan over a bridgecrew into the ~~Pits of Hathsin~~ Shattered Plains.
