The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

I LOVED THIS!!!! Just wow!!! I kept hearing how it was so great, but until I experienced it myself, I just couldn't fully appreciate all the remarks I've heard about this book (and series). I'm SO glad I decided to not give up on fantasy last year when I started dipping my toe in.

Who doesn't love intrigue, mystery, TWISTS, humor, and backstabbing!!!?? If I didn't have the next book to jump into tomorrow, I'd be re-reading this book right now!!! It was just THAT good!!! It definitely is the type book that you can tell is setting up for the whole series, and while some may think it's slow, I think it's because it's mostly a character driven book with some fighting and lots of world building to lead you to a point where you want to know more about everyone and where the plotting and intrigue goes from here. I'm so excited to move on to Words of Radiance!!!

I used the audio and physical book (and sometimes the ebook when in bed in the dark) and hearing the narration while reading brought it even more to life for me!! 10/10!!
