Warbreaker

I have yet to be disappointed by one of Brandon Sanderson's books. Warbreaker was no exception.

In what has really become one of Mr. Sanderson's trademarks, again we are confronted with an unique and fascinating magic system. It centers around Breath (yes, with a capital B) and color. There are rules, and unlike so many contemporary fantasy authors, the book sticks quite strictly to those rules.

That is so refreshing. There really are no moments where the internal logic of the world is just so brazenly broken. It helps to keep the reader engaged.

The characters are well written and develop in interesting ways throughout the course of the book. There are twists and turns, surprising moments, and some characters who really end up so much more than they initially seemed.

My biggest complaint is the way in which the book was so set up for more novels in this world, with these characters. And yet, I just don't know when Brandon will have time to get back around to them. I eagerly hope for more though.
