My primary disappointment with this book is that it was written in 2010 and, despite the creative creatures and imaginative landscapes, Sanderson still chose to incorporate a strict stereotypical masculine/feminine dichotomy into his alien world. The reason I persevered though hundreds of pages of male bravado, 'honor', back and forth crisis of conscience, and relative absence of female characters is because the reviews were just so damned spectacular. the Evil Librarians seriesДЎ280 pages and it only took about 800 of those to draw me in.

It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground.
