A review by nazahafreen
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
This is a masterpiece. I loved every character. The book is slow-paced for a beginner but just the right length for seasoned readers. The story achieved its goal. When a character is introduced, it seems necessary at first, but they become pivotal as the story progresses.
Kaladin as our main protagonist shines. His moral code, his hardship as Bridgeman and his fight with himself about what's right are the book's best parts. His windspren Syl reminds me of Tinker Bell but with fewer temper tantrums. She is the best companion I have ever read about in a book or watched in media.
But my favourite character is Jasnah. I want to be more like her. Her grace and ethics are inspiring. There is no doubt she is the most intellectual of all the characters in the book.
Shallan is a sweet girl who is battling her own moral code with her journey. She didn't have much to do in the story but seems like a major character in the later books. Some of her interactions with Jasnah are my favorite in the book.
Dalinar is a man of discipline and a great leader. He will be pivotal in the story. I can feel it.
The magic system is the most interesting part of the book. It's a science-based magic system with a sense of mystery and wonder. A very unique combination.
I am wasting no time and starting to read the 2nd book immediately.
