A review by fictionalcharacter
The Way of Kings (1 of 5) by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

storm you brandon sanderson for sneaking so much philosophy into a high fantasy book and making me love it! this book reminded me just how great it feels to read about characters with honor and integrity, who truly respect others and want to protect people who can’t protect themselves. throw in some anti war and anti ruling class/abuse of power and it’s cemented as one of my favorite fantasy books. I will say the world building and diving into character histories in detail felt slow at times, but the payoff was worth it. anyone who loves lord of the rings or game of thrones should read this right away.
