The Way of Kings (1 of 5) by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

I would rate it a 4.5

I really enjoyed this book, the story already feels epic and the characters are deep and memorable. The last couple hundred pages flew by because things are happening quickly and you feel so engaged in the story. The ending was satisfying while also leaving you craving the next installment. I would rate it a 4.5 only because of the slow beginning and feeling a little lost at times, although I do think the payoff in the end is totally worth it! And, knowing it is the start of a long series makes all the unknowns forgivable, with the expectation that all will be explained eventually.
