A wonderful start to what it seems will be my next “RELEASE THE NEXT BOOK ALREADY! >.<” series. The scope of this story is absolutely massive, and if the interludes were put in for more than just worldbuilding, we have hardly seen anything. I have read a couple of reviews where people say that the worldbuilding was “excessive” or “intrusive,” but I disagree. Maybe not every mention of retreating grass or rockbuds was necessary to the story, but it helped me truly immerse myself in it. Well done Mr. Sanderson!
