Everything that was great about the first book continues being great in the second book. I don't think anyone can find disappointment here. It is fantastic how the plot can keep developing at such a high pace. 1,000+ pages and nothing feels like filler.

I really appreciate this generosity of the author. Many novels seem to be built on the idea of making the reader desire a piece of information and then figuring out how to withhold this information as long as possible. It makes sense as a mechanism to draw the reader through your pages. Brandon Sanderson instead gives you the information right away. He has so much plot that there is no reason to hold back. For example:

“The king!” Natam said, puffing. “An assassin.”

End of chapter 22. Do we now get a flashback? Switch to a different POV character? "15 years later"? No. The first sentence in chapter 23:

The king was fine.

Perhaps the only change is that Sanderson at this point can rightfully assume that the reader has fallen in love with the characters, and he can have a bit more fun with them. It is done subtly enough that the overall tone of the story is not hurt. (“I wasn’t complaining,” Pattern complained.)

I started reading Oathbringer right away at www.tor.com/2017/08/29/oathbringer-brandon-sanderson-chapter-1-3/. We will see if I can read slowly enough to get to the real release without a gap.
