Ok I know I’m probably going to get downvoted into oblivion for this but I just figured I’d post this because I didn’t see anyone else that shared my opinion.

I’ve read all of the mistborn series as well as elantris and have a great love for the books.

I’m also not saying that the book is bad. It’s just built up so much by everyone on here that I guess I went into it with impossible expectations.

I felt like there was honestly a lot of filler without a lot of events moving things forward and a lot of chapters could have been trimmed down.

I understand it’s the introduction to a massive series and it has a lot of world building to do. I just didn’t expect the have to read 800 pages before things really started to get interesting.

Maybe I was spoiled by all the other books I’ve read from Brandon being shorter. Maybe I’ll change my mind as I read more of the series. But as of right now I honestly prefer either of the mistborn books to this one.

Ok that’s my rant. Now tell me how my personal opinion is wrong.
