I think Sanderson was torn in this book with how to present his material. You can see from rantanplan's response earlier, that some struggle to know what's going on. And I submit it's because while he is downright pedantic when it comes to explaining the details of his world, he is much slower about the higher level "what's going on." It, isn't, for example, as obvious as The Hobbit's, "We quest to reclaim our homeland and treasure from Smaug the dragon!"
I'm fine with this, but for others, this obfuscation manifests itself as being "complex."
