Overall, I emphatically recommend The Way of Kings to any fantasy lover.

– The number of POVs: It’s tough to keep straight all of the characters and storylines, especially when you throw in all the Prologues and Interludes with random characters. – The length: I enjoy a long epic story, but I felt the story sometimes dragged. The different magic systems, the races, the flora and fauna, and the societal practices are all unique and unlike anything I’ve ever read. – The World: Brandon Sanderson has set the bar for worldbuilding so high that it’s nearly unreachable! It is rich, detailed, and imaginative. The entire book lead-up to this scene results in you sitting on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding! – The Tower battle: I saved this for it’s own point because it is the single greatest scene I’ve ever read in a book! Every moment of it was amazing and exciting. There are so many more, but the big scenes are amazing! – Amazing scenes: Shallan learning the truth about soulcasting, Kaladin getting his Shardplate, Kaladin training bridge team, Kaladin surviving the storm, Dalinar and the chasmfiend. – My interest faded a bit toward the end with the town of Trebon and the draccus. – Stress: It can be stressful to read because you get so invested in Kvothe and he has a way of getting himself into trouble over and over again. Props to Rothfuss for making me feel it though! – Ambrose: It’s tough to dislike a character more. – Wide audience: You don’t have to be a fantasy fan to enjoy the book. – Balance between highs and lows: The book does a great job of bringing you on a journey through a wide variety of feelings. It’s not bogged down with wordy descriptions, but captures your interest in a fascinating way. – Prose: It absolutely captures you completely and is amazingly written. It’s masterfully written and makes you smile while you read. You’ll have to read it to see what I mean. It has the greatest music in any book I’ve ever read. – Music: “Music? What?” Yes, that’s right. The scenes are brilliant and you can’t put the book down! – Amazing scenes: The University interview, the sympathy class, trying for his pipes, the whipping scene, promotion to Re’lar.
