Just finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson... My God...What. A. Book.
Simply a breathtaking story, in a breathtaking world, with breathtaking characters with breathtaking lives.
Never have I been so engrossed by a book. I could not put it down. I completely lost myself within the world and the lives of the characters.
If your idea of a good book is one with lots of action and quick plot turns keeping you on the edge of your seat, this is probably not for you. On the other hand however, if your idea of a book is one where it slowly and delicately builds up the story, giving you a vision of the world, making you care deeply for the characters as if you had known them all your lives, as if you were present - hovering over the characters as the story played out, if you like to laugh, say "wtf" and "omg" to yourself or slap yourself on the forehead a few times while reading a book then this is your type of book. It also has some very philosophical and moral undertones to the story that will not only make you question the characters, but question yourself too.
The book is meant as a primer, a foundation to the massive, epic of a story that lies ahead by Mr. Sanderson.
All-in-all this book is something special, and is undoubtedly worth your time.
