I don’t know what “slow down and let the story breathe” means, can you explain a bit please? Myself, I’m not sure exactly what it was but I did notice a difference in style between Mistborn and The Way Of Kings. I thought the latter flowed better and illustrated his improvement as a writer; I’d be curious to hear what you think and how you’d quantify the difference, if you give Stormlight Archives a go!
I’ve only read Stormlight so I have no comparison to the other works, but Way Of Kings is like 1/3rd painting scenery of crushing oppression and letting depression breathe.
Sanderson is not right to finish ASOIAF, by his own admission, but it’s not for lack of skill.

I might, thanks!
