Warbreaker

Can't believe how long it took me to get through this! For some reason I had trouble really committing to it. There was a lot going on at different parts and I felt like it all sort of came clamoring to an end in the last 150 pages. I enjoyed the world and magic system. Some of the characters were pretty grating to me (the “funny” mercenaries in particular, I started to loathe scenes with them), others I appreciated more as time went on (Vivenna is probably one of the better characters in the book).

I'm not totally convinced that the ending makes sense, but I really enjoyed the last 150 or so pages. I think the book is about 200 pages too long, and I'd have enjoyed it a lot more if some of it were trimmed out.
