Brandon Sanderson / Re: Warbreaker: Free Ebook

<SPOILER ALERT!!!>
First I have to say how disappointed I am that I only just discovered Warbreaker a few days ago, I would have loved to have watched the writing process from the begining. But, as they say - better late than never!
I will not comment on the typos in the 6.1 version, as I trust the more than competant editors at TOR to catch those, however I do have one minor complaint I would like to mention. I felt the whole statues as Kalad's Phantoms thing too predictable. I think the talk of a mystical army waiting the call of the God King was mentioned a little too often, and as a result the moment Vivenna stepped into the D'Denir garden I thought, "oh, that's were they are."
It would have worked better if they had just been left at all the street corners and not had a group of several houndred together especially when using words like, "They stood, as if on guard" and "Warriors to represent peace" to describe them. From that point on I was just waiting for Susebron to call them to action which left the ending a little flat for me.
On the positive side I loved the characters immensely; I found myself waiting in anticipation of the next exchange between Lightsong and, well, just about anyone. Too bad he will not be around for the next book.
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable read, keep 'em comming!
