(Would a Mormon bride ever find herself with such a mate? No, of course not.)</i> Brilliant. I don't expect to read three finer sentences than these anytime soon. Nice review and commentary, Jonathan; you make me interested in Sanderson. But Kent (MC), where's the love for Mormonism's premier fiction writer, Shannon Hale?

Now my husband is bugging me to run out and pick it up. Brandon is his old writing teacher and we've met up with him the last few times he toured into Seattle. I haven't read <em>Elantris</em>, but I adored the <em>Mistborn</em> series. Awesome. Now my husband is bugging me to run out and pick it up.

You will probably not converse with gods by leaving paper mache fish outside their apartment doors. But I'm just speculating here.

Sorry, no, not this time. But am I going to read a series of 12 massive books that I’ve avoided for the last three decades, just so I can understand Brandon Sanderson’s conclusion to the series?
