On my second read (listen, actually -- the Graphic Audio version is good), this book is kind of a slog. Most of the first three-quarters of the book tends to draaaag on forever with lots of lame politicky stuff and people wandering aimlessly. Stuff happens, but it's not nearly as fun to read the second time as the previous books. At least the ending is good, which is always the case with Sanderson's books.

Now I can finally start the "new" book (from 9 months ago).
