Review: Mighty Fine Little Rip-Snorter of a Tale
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 7, 2012
First of all, let me say my high rating is not based on what the book is *not*. And what it's *not* is a completely realized story or world. But within the scope of its inclusion in another story universe (not to mention another medium), it's a mighty fine little rip-snorter of a tale. Sanderson is always entertaining, and this novella doesn't disappoint. Although I have no interest in the games on which the story was based, I still enjoyed the action and the mystery. But, more than anything, I simply loved the main character and his juxtaposition of expectedly awesome fighting skills and unexpected lack of skills when it comes to just about everything else. Definitely a fresh and welcome approach to the archetypal fantasy hero.
