The Way Of Kings
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson is the first book of the Stormlight Archive and one of many books in the Cosmere universe.
This isn’t my first Sanderson book, I actually started my journey into the Cosmere with the novella The Emperor’s Soul. After that I was hooked, I went on to read the Misborn trilogy and Elanrtris.
This book has a wonderful cast of characters which I’ve come to expect from Brandon. Sometimes I got a little impatient with him as I would be more interested in Bridge Four and present day Kaladin than some of the other storylines. However there were occasions where it would be the other way around. I loved all the characters though so I didn’t mind when my flow got interrupted.
Every character has an important piece of the puzzle, even if they don’t realize it or even know about the big plot. I’m a bit of sucker for these kinds of stories, drawing individual threads into one big tapestry is totally my jam. Brandon Sanderson does a wonderful job of making you feel connected to his characters and their world.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, as I’m very excited to see what happens next. I can see why so many people recommend it, and I’m glad that I finally got around to reading it!
Nice pick! It’s the best book the in Stormlight Archives series, in my opinion! Grabed my attention right away. Makes you cheer for Kaladin and sympathise with him. I’m on Rhythm of War right now.

It’s my first read through the Stormlight Archives so I won’t know if it’s my favourite yet but I absolutely loved it. I have a sudden urge to buy a Windspren plushie from Dragonsteel… maybe even a pin..
