One could question your sanity... Jacob Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 02:51:26 PM
if not just your taste.

Cook is merely okay.

Zelazny has moments of true brilliance in his works, though it's not consistently found through out.

Personally, I enjoy Sanderson's Mistborn and his recent Warbreaker. I find the world building, magic systems, and story telling to be top notch. The dialogue and some of the secondary characterizations are not always to quality. I don't read WoT anymore, so I can't comment there.
