Brandon Sanderson: The Final Empire (2006, Tor) 4 stars

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years …

Good start with a weak beggining.

4 stars

The first quarter of the book is weak, boring, and I almost stopped reading. Is good that I didn't because the story, narration, and overall writing gets much better. What I like about the story is that it shows the flaws in the characters and the consequences making them more alive as opposed to too fictional because of obvious plot armor.
