TEHHHHHH Jetplane!

Sanderson has somehow climbed up near the top of my favorite fantasy author spots, with guys Ive been reading for 10+ years. I found him when he replaced RJ, and have pretty much read everything he's released now. He may not have his greatest strength in characters, but its the overall worlds that he builds that come alive so well that they almost bring the characters to life with them.

As a side note, there were many characters in Mistborn that were incredibly complex and I thought Sanderson got me to care for them over 3 books. Unfortunately, most of those were not "main" characters. He is getting stronger with his character writing though, as can be seen in Stormlight, and the combination is going to make it one killer series.

Honestly at this point I am looking forward to Stormlight 2 more than I am Memory of Light. The first few chapters had me wondering if Sanderson wrote his first flop, and then 1/4th in and I couldn't put the book down until it was finished. Funny enough, it was the same exact way for me with the first WoT book.
