But Allomancy is another interesting magic system, governed by physics. Ingenious work there.
One thing that is becoming Brandon's trademark is how he uses an omniscient narrator. He shows you what the characters are thinking, their feelings and struggles, their thought process. That makes good characterization, although some people might prefer to know/judge characters only by their actions, instead of being told what they're feeling and thinking. (This only applies to the POV characters, obviously).

I think his next book, Warbreaker, deals with the earlier times of Elantris.
