I cringe hard thinking about a character written like Wayne getting stuck on a mission with someone like Kaladin and having to suffer through reading that dialog. It’ll be interesting to see how the blending of all of these worlds will go and if it will ultimately work out. For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Setwith his. The stories themselves (W&W) just feel low stakes (though obviously the background stuff is significant to the cosmere… and maybe that is my problem). Return to 1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal. It just feels no one is ever really in danger. Not saying I need main characters to die off or things need to be tragic. The other issue is the lack of consequences/stakes (at the local story level). I like Steris, but she’s really one dimensional. It feels like he still struggles to write female characters well. The humor in W&W… I just find myself rolling my eyes. The style of it feels… YA? I guess? I just find myself skimming dialog and even some of the action sequences.
I don’t know what it is about the writing that bugs me in mistborn. Mistborn is not my favorite Sanderson series. I enjoyed it but less than my first time through when I was younger. I’m looking forward to this and just finished my full series reread.
