essteeyou finished reading The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive #1) by Brandon Sanderson (author) (Stormlight Archive, #1)
It took me a little while to get into this one, but once I started having to commute to work again I rattled through it in short order.
I feel like I know a lot of the characters now, and I'm so pleased to remember that I've got multiple books in the series waiting to go. I'm not so much looking forward to a ten-year gap for the next ones though.
There are some elements of this that I'm not over the moon about. There were a fair few descriptions of women that I feel like women might roll their eyes at, and the disembodied voice saying "UNITE THEM" turns out to be someone I really wouldn't have expected.
I'll start the second book on my way home tonight, and I'm reliably informed it's either best or second-best in the series, which is cool.
