And I must say I enjoyed it a lot. Very likeable characters, some good action sequences, and the ending leaves room for EUOL to take the story anywhere he wants, should he decide to do so. It was also nice to see how much more clever EUOL got with his plot twists between this book and Mistborn. Most of this has probably been said already, but I figured I'd refresh some conversation about this story. It almost feels like a prequal to me, like the Hobbit or the Wizard's Nephew (although it is much better than the Wizard's Nephew). One thing is for sure, that hate mail EUOL got was dead wrong.
Finally, my favorite character in the book is Serene. I have always loved strong women in stories (and in real life, to be honest). To that end, who did everyone else really like in this story? My top three besides Serene would be Hrathen, Raoden, and Duladen. I need a break from the Mistborn discussions, anyway.
