A review by corditeq
The Way of Kings Part Two by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
This book was something I bought on a whim, because everyone was always telling me that Brandon Sanderson was a Fantasy god.
Well.
He is.
I read both volumes in a grand total of one day - from midnight to 3 in the afternoon, with only a brief stop for food, sleep and a lecture. It was engrossing, compelling and I could not put it down. It was in the top five books I've ever read, and when I finished reading it, I immediately went and bought several other Sanderson novels, because apparently I have been massively missing out.
The characters were fleshed out, beautifully crafted, and vividly alive. The universe was wide and lavishly filled in every detail. The plot was both clever and understated, and I even got a few surprises with one event or another.
All in all, if you haven't read it, you should. There is a reason this book won a David Gemmell award, and that reason is how truly magnificent a piece of work it is. So shoo - go read it! I'm going go wait for the Mistborn trilogy to arrive in the mail.
(Note - I have posted this review on both volumes of the novel. Just for completeness.)
