Review of 'The Way of Kings' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Way of Kings was such a phenomenal book. It's the first of a series so be prepared to want more at the end.

Sanderson does such a great job of setting up the world of Roshar, along with the characters of Dalinar, Kaladin, and Shallan. The conflict between the Alethi and Parshendi makes up the bulk of the book, and serves as another place where Sanderson's great portrayals of leadership, and of the human experience come through.

Without giving spoilers, I can't say too much more about the plot, but it really is a book to grab, even though it takes some time to get through at 1000 pages. The events of this first book to the Stormlight Archive series just truly need to be experienced by anyone who enjoys a nice epic fantasy.
