Query: Better than the first

I disagree with the previous review in respect to it not being as good as the first. After reading the first I thought it was pretty good, but it felt to me like too much of a direct ripoff of the Wheel of Time. I wasn't sure I wanted to go on to the next book, but did. After the second, no doubt I'll keep reading, it was much better than the first. Felt more original, and more of the world was explained. In the first book new random stuff kept popping up and I just thought it was lazy writing, but in the second he's done better with the world building and the world and the characters are more interesting. Not to mention a more page turning story, at least for me. I am glad the next books look to be a little shorter, these huge bricks, also known as paperbacks, hurt my hands when trying to read them.
