Review: Fairly good; grows on you

The premise of this one sounds a bit like that of the prequel to the Battlestar Galactica series, premising a set of beings who are essentially immortal because they can transfer their consciousness from body to body, effectively rendering themselves all but immortal.  Kind of a bleak aspect of the 'singularity' theory of human development for the future.  The premise logic is fairly well thought out, and the central idea is unsettling when you think about it.  Clearly Brandon Sanderson was a good pick to finish out the Wheel of Time series.  A good read, well-paced, and somewhat thought-provoking.
