“The characters and the society are beautifully drawn. “A rousing start to Sanderson’s grand new epic fantasy Those enjoying his completion of Wheel of Time can now look forward to another engrossing epic.” And as usual, Sanderson’s meticulous world-building includes not only an ecology, but a carefully thought-out magical system that has echoes in the culture and society at large.” “A very accomplished Book 1, superior to any book in the Wheel of Time series. “This great big book pulled me in early on the strength of the world building, but the nicely drawn characters drew me in further for enjoyment, and anticipation of the next volume.” With this epic, it’s time to get in on the ground floor.” “The pages fly by as the reader gets engrossed epic in all regards – size, scope and story. “THE WAY OF KINGS is a promising and compelling start to this new series, and it looks to be a long and exciting journey.” “An epic fantasy world of his own that promises to captivate genre fans.” It felt epic and powerful I give this book my highest recommendation and think THE WAY OF KINGS will be one of those landmark novels of Epic Fantasy against which future novels will always be measured.” “Sanderson reveals a world with incredible depth on the brink of a major paradigm shift For a novel that tops out over 1000 pages, Sanderson’s tale does not falter in its narrative pull nor does his ability to evoke tension waver I can’t say that it felt like a long tale. Sanderson has built a world that leaps to life, a cast of varied characters, and a vast history while Sanderson cuts from the familiar cloth of fantasy, his narrative impetus and meticulous world-building bode well for future volumes.” This is a great choice for fans of Robert Jordan and Terry Brooks.” “A good mix of military action, political machinations, faith-based intrigue, and personal drama keep the pages turning. “Brandon Sanderson is modern epic fantasy’s Grand Master, comparable only to Tolkien in scope and richness of story, and I for one hope has a long, long career.” “A classic story of intrigue, magic and war, with a large cast of characters and multiple settings lovingly detailed in a way only possible in volumes of this size There’s wit, magic and erudition Readers will plunge into it.” The level of detail is just astonishing Kaladin and Shallan’s stories are compelling and readable.” “Sanderson is absolutely amazing at worldbuilding. “Sanderson is a master Fans and lovers of epic fantasy will find the ending satisfying, yet will eagerly await the next volume.” The Stormlight Archive Series The Way of Kings (#1)
