I’m reading The Well of Ascension, the second book of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy

I like how he has the slow, almost clinical way of revealing interesting worlds and systems. It’s not the kind of book that’ll make me cry, but I really like world building with fun enough characters

I thought so too, until I read the 2nd Mistborn trilogy!

Wait until you hear a detailed explanation of the magic system for the 5th time. Still a good series.

		I was just listening to a Sanderson interview. He's annoyed by it too. It's his publisher wanting the books to be easy to get into. He's dealing with it in Mistborn era 3 where's he's trying to figure out how to re-explain everything and it's annoying him because he just wants to show allomancers doing cool stuff.
