i literally could not put this down. i spend EVERY SECOND of my freetime reading this book. i forgot to eat, drink, sleep, live, because all that mattered was what happened next!!! i thought all of the people praising Brandon Sanderson must be exaggerating, but somehow he made me read over 1000 pages in just a few days and then immediately jump into another 1000 pages. i fear this might be my next hyperfixation...
6/5 stars honestly

Even though I love The Way of Kings, it is probably my least favorite out of the Stormlight books. That isn’t to say it’s not good. I still think it’s an amazing book. But I think it just starts off a little slower then the others. Also I have reread it so many times it gets a little stale after a while but that is just a me thing.
This books is packed full of interesting characters, fantastic world building, lore, and so much more! I think people get really intimidated by its size but it is absolutely worth it and I can almost guarantee you will get sucked in. I definitely recommend at least trying it!

I loved all of the characters even the more minor ones. They were all so well developed and had such distinct personalities. I even loved the one who was killing everyone and will be seen as the "bad guy". They all had a lot of depth throughout the book and stood out as individuals. I rooted for every single one of them to get what they wanted.
I also really liked the pacing of this book. Like I said, it does drop you in like right away with a character who is killing people as he's trying to kill a king, so it starts off on a high note which I think was a great way to start because when that was over you were completely ready to slow down and get a deeper sense of the world that you needed in order to move on. But the book itself was also separated into parts with interludes in between. I really enjoyed that it took a step back from the main story with those and added a side story to give you more information about the world and how it works without inundating you with exposition. It really worked with the pacing of the novel as a whole.
So yeah this was definitely a 10/10 read and I will be recommending it to anyone who is interested in high fantasy.
