I guess maybe it's not for everyone- I'm just a sucker for epic fantasy and Sanderson hits all my buttons. I enjoy his world building, his descriptive writing style, the way he writes combat gets me hype, etc.
Hah, I love this because it demonstrates just how different people's tastes can be. A Song of Ice and Fire did not jive with me: I felt like Martin's writing style got real old real quick (killing characters started to feel like a crutch) and the story just couldn't keep my attention anymore around book four.
But to each their own, that's what makes the world spin!

Once it became clear virtually every character would be quickly axed, I could no longer invest emotionally in any of the new characters.
- albatross13 5y agoYeah it's wild- some people seem to really enjoy it, others it's a huge turn off. My wife and I have had a few discussions about it and we both always settle on "Man I really liked it for awhile...but eventually it was just too much".
