The Alchemy of Stone

A fascinating exploration of freewill versus dependence. This book was so beautifully written, I did not want it to end. Four, self wound, clockwork stars.

The Final Empire (Mistborn, Book 1)

Sandersen not only saves the WoT series, but writes amazing action fantasy to boot. Four very satisfied stars.

A Darkness Forged in Fire: Book One of the Iron Elves

Poor character development and ungainly pacing mar this otherwise exciting story. The refreshing change of setting for a fantasy novel is not a gimmick, it really adds a lot. Two stars.
