Having read quite a few of the books Sanderson wrote after Elantris, I must admit that here we can find most of his recurring themes, but in a more raw and less raffinated way. It's still a great storythough, slow as always at first, focusing on one of the three main characters in every chapter, but getting more and more interesting and suspenseful. Sanderson is definitely much more than a genre writer, thanks to his impeccable writing style, his insights on social, interpersonal and theological matters, and the way he builds his story, where even the smallest details may become relevant later, without seeming artificial.
