You know it's a good book when you fail to notice that your bus has gotten off the freeway
I'm reading Elantris, an earlier book by Brandon Sanderson, author of The Final Empire (Mistborn, Book 1). Elantris is also impressive. I totally failed to notice that the bus had gotten off the freeway this morning, and was quite startled when I realized it was coming to a stop (mine is the first stop off the freeway, so I usually pay attention to where we are).
