One of the most intriguing characters I've stumbled upon. But yeah, the "rules" in Mistborn are awesome, takes the whole story to a completely different dimension than it would have been in a "normal" magic-world. Elantris also had it moments so I am looking forward to seeing Sanderson wrap up WoT Sorry, got to say I dont agree with you at all about Covenant.

I get it sent to me, it's about the size of a reader's digest and not nearly as glossy/fancy, but I'll often find a short story jewel. Usually about 1 per issue. A lot of the stories tend to move away from the typical hero with powers saving the world and shit, and focus instead on something like a moral dilemma or a full group of characters. I find it's really nice to have something to read while waiting for my girlfriend to get out of work, or hell even as a quick 'bathroom' read, since every story is pretty short.

Lot of people hate Thomas and I remember vaguely disliking him when I read them when I was younger. Wolfe is usually held in a little more regard but some of his books are tough slogs. Robert Jordan started off well but the horrible editing turned me off less than halfway through. Just couldn't see myself reading the last 5+ books in the series. Deserves credit for bringing a lot of new readers into fantasy though. Still, if I'm going to read a series that spirals a bit out of control I'll stick to George RR Martin.

I had heard from a few people who loved MS&T that Otherland didn't offer a heck of a lot of new material. I was always curious about it, but never picked up the first one. Perhaps I'll have to give 'er a shot. Yeah? I had heard from a few people who loved MS&T that Otherland didn’t offer a heck of a lot of new material.
