The book was excellent. Given the conclusion and the plot itself, I think Warbreaker is a suitable and catchy title. From a marketing perspective, the title must be memorable like the chorus of a popular song on the radio, not tripped out like some fantasy titles are (like Terry Brooks' novels, for example with all the unique names he devised). Also, if there's going to be more than one book in the series, which it appears will be the case for Warbreaker, then I think one-word titles do it best, and then the title for each volume can be a little more elaborate. What you did for Mistborn follows this perfectly, with a title that is accessible for readers when they want to recommend the series, but also volume titles that have the reader guessing what will happen in the story (I'm totally perplexed, for one, with how Mistborn will conclude with a title like "Hero of Ages"). So, anyway, I guess I'm hoping you stick with Warbreaker as a series title and have some catchy titles for each volume. My $0.02.
