It takes a long time to get interesting, but I'm interested enough that I'll pick up the next. It still feels a bit devoid of character, even with some big bombs near the end that seem like they should be shocking. But there's enough in there to keep me intrigued.

Moderate: Misogyny
Sanderson is a mormon who has, as I understand, grappled with how his faith approaches the "modern" world. His books aren't generally the worst offenders of misogyny etc, but there's definitely an underlying (and sometimes overt) thread of "traditional gender roles" etc.
