And it is. I love Marasi's character. But I'm more interesting in reading Bands of Mourning than I am to re-read this, if that makes sense. But if you like Sanderson, there's no reason not to read this. <br /><br />One of the biggest advantages of Sunset Mantle is that it's a novella - so the time and money investment is pretty low. I did enjoy it, but the more distance I get from it the less I'm truly excited.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094675116398769415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354250.post-4162525040833650092015-12-09T13:15:51.611-06:002015-12-09T13:15:51.611-06:00Joe,

Being a big fan of Mr. Sanderson I've found that even his not-so-great work is still hands down better than most out there, so I know it's just matter of time before I go buy it. Sunset Mantle at least interested me, but after some bad tastes from new writers the last year or so I've found it a bit difficult to try any more without some major trepidation.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345203630732950224noreply@blogger.com
