It's different from WoT in that it isn't about a chosen one, or even a central group of characters, but rather presents a broad panorama of the world, introducing characters from all walks of life, from slaves to incarnate gods, and it slowly builds a web of plot that masterfully ties itself together, despite spanning four different continents and hundreds of characters.

Plus, it's just cool. The mage-battles in it are breathtaking.

It does tend to be very military-focused; a lot of the characters are soldiers in various armies. Don't know if that's your thing or not. But one thing I like about it is the presence of alchemical grenades that allow the regular soldiers to match mages for firepower. And the fact that even gods and Ascendants aren't safe from a stray arrow to the throat.

But, yeah, maybe give it a shot. Sorry for getting off-topic.

And, you just totally killed me while I was writing this. Congratulations. :p
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
