Let's build us a happy, little cloud that floats around the sky.

I've gotta say this about the book: The audiobook version is awful. This isn't a thing that translates very well, especially early on when everything is very spelled out for the audience. The description of Lashing made me nuts.

But I started reading the actual book and it's loving awesome so there's that. Gonna read Mistborn once I'm done

I just finished the audiobook version of the book and while the example you gave above as well as the text at the beginning of most chapters irked me a bit, I found that the book was well done and very much enjoyed the listen for this past week and a bit.

But maybe that's because the audiobook I listened to before moving on to The Way of Kings was The Name of the Wind and the narrator sounded like Toby Maguire so almost anything would be a welcome improvement after that experience.
