> The chapter is just shy of 79,000 words. It contains (by my quick count) 72 scenes–but only 31 distinct viewpoints, as numerous ones repeat.
I love the insanity of that quote. Sanderson has an awesome ability to write things like a chapter with a dozen viewpoints that still flow so incredibly well.
You'll understand what I mean by this once you've read the books...
Sanderson also does a horrible job of wrapping up the series. I won't spoil it but there's a 50/50 chance that you will regret investing time in reading the series once you get to the end. This isn't entirely Sanderson's fault; he only wrote the final 3 novels based on the outline he was given by Jordan's widow. Unfortunately, Jordan did not wrap up all of the story lines in the outline and Sanderson makes not attempt to do so.
