The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
3.5
adventurous dark emotional sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I found there were a few too many perspectives and it was hard to get invested in every single character, making parts of this book a drag to get through. It started to get better near the end as the connections between all the characters became apparent. I'm still not entirely sure what the overarching plot of this series is, which I think is a part of the issue since it's still focused on each character's individual goals. I'm sure this will be better in the second book, and I'm excited to read it.
