It was a bit exhausting to keep reading about more and more of it.
The whole book was a bit of a struggle.
At no point did I feel I wuld miss out by skipping a page of trollocs marching to their death for fear there would be some important information in it.
I feel that the constant use of what Sanderson obviously feels are clever uses of the power (Gateways) was tedious in the extreme.
A gateway to watch the battle .... A gateway to send someones fireball back at them .... a gateway to make some cheap leather goods ....
I think there was a LOT of "nerd-service" in this book from Sanderson. He's that kind of author: big on reddit and panders to the fandom, etc. I think he was trying to put shades of "Portal" into the work, as a nod. I'm surprised he didn't use the word "aperture" anywhere.
Anyone else totally unimpressed?

I had extremely low expectations, which I guess were sort of met.

I'm surprised you are so happy with it. It was action packed, but sloppy. Usually you dislike that

I wouldn't go so far as to say TOTALLY, but I was not satisfied.

I will say that the battle was well constructed in certain places
