Just finished "Memories of Ice", and, yeah, the series DEFINETLY gets better.
I have to admit the average paragraph in Gardens of the Moon seemed like this to me (as characterized by a friend):
"Garek frowned, staring at the Um'tok. Although most Um'tok were in the service of the honat, he knew that this one was moktash to the Ughur. He dropped the krontab of drugal he was eating and stood up from the codelia. As he backed away from the Um'tok in horror, it brobtahd its bratokbrow at him and shnoogled in a gnugheer-like voice: "I am the mooha tier!""
But once you get a grasp of the terms that makes a lot more sense.
Anyways, for anyone interested Brandon Sanderson has his whole book "Warbreaker" posted online! I love his philosophy: "A while back—June 2006—I started work on the novel which would follow my Mistborn trilogy. At the time, I noticed the work of Cory Doctorow, who releases all of his books on-line at the same time as the hardback comes out from Tor. At first, I thought this was insane. If you give it away for free, nobody will buy it!
Then, I spent some more time considering. Readers can ALREADY get their books for free; I went to the library often myself as a youth. And yet, I still bought books. I often bought the very books I'd checked out from the library, as I liked them so much I wanted to read them again and loan them out to others. What do I really believe? In resenting libraries and used bookstores because they share my books without any direct profit to me? Or, would I rather look at all of that as free publicity"

I read some of it at the bookstore before I found this and it did seem like it could be good...
