This review may seem critical, but The Shadow of What Was Lost is not bad. If I were reading it ten years ago, I’d probably jump right into the sequel.
Cradle Series Review
Wight managed to produce in Cradle a series that was fresh, original, fast-paced, fun, and engaging, making him most certainly an rising writer to watch.
Waybound Review
Waybound made for an excellent end to the Cradle journey, and I look forward to reading what Wight comes out with next.
Riddle-Master Review
Something about how the story is presented keeps the reader at a certain remove and dilutes the immediacy of the action, and that is why I struggled to engage with it, no matter how much I wanted to.
Niccolò Rising Review
The elements that I enjoyed about the Lymond Chronicles are all present: a brilliant protagonist, beautiful writing, fascinating historical context, and evocative descriptions. Despite all of that, I found it difficult to engage with the story.
The Lost Metal Review
The Lost Metal is the most significant proving ground so far that he can manage to continue to tell compelling, intricate, contained stories while integrating those stories more with the Cosmere context.
The Bands of Mourning Review
While the characters, detail-level plotting, and world-building are all at Sanderson’s usual high level, the main plot felt like something out of Shannara.
Shadows of Self Review
Shadows of Self picks up a little after the events of Alloy of Law and builds on the threads leftover at the end of the first novel.
Alloy of Law Review
When I first heard that Brandon Sanderson was planning to do a second Mistborn series, set in a later era on Scadrial, I had mixed expectations.
The Naming Review
I read a lot, and I’ve been reading for a long time, especially in the fantasy genre, but something I’ve noticed since I began to make a deliberate study of writing in order to improve my own storytelling is that I've become much more critical of what I read.
