Warbreaker majority of the time felt like the first book in a series. Setting up several stories to build over multiple books. Which I would have loved. But then the last 50-100 pages felt a little rushed to finish everything. While still leaving it open enough for any future books Sanderson may write.
I will happily read more from this world. Especially Vasher and Vienna. Where their journey takes them.
This book made me laugh more than any of his others. The sarcastic characters like Lightsong, who I loved and wish we could get more from, and Denth, who I loved at first.
It was nice to see Vasher and Vienna have a platonic relationship. Even if Vasher acted like he couldn’t stand her. I think he does like having her around. At least that’s what I’ve chosen to believe. Especially considering the ending. I do wish we got more scenes of them together
Siri and the God King had an interesting relationship. It was nice but I feel like I needed to see more of a development between them.
I’ve mentioned him before but I loved Lightsong. His personality really lightened the mood occasionally which was needed. His character development was amazing. How in the end he realised how important he is and how he can help save everyone from war with one sacrifice. Part of me wants a whole book just for him. There are years of his life as a God to use. I know it won’t happen but I love his character.
Nightblood is hilarious. Who knew a sword could be one of my favourite characters.
The story itself was interesting. I would say it feels different from his other books but I can’t really explain why. All his books I’ve read are political but this felt more. Although I was never confused by the world and why things were happening.
Due to each character having their own personality and voice jumping between POV including mid chapter never bothered me like it usually does. Every time it flowed well enough that it never took me out of the story.
There are a few twists throughout this and I don’t think I saw any of them coming. Especially the last two major ones. I just didn’t question who certain people were. I just took them at face value. Each twist worked to develop the next part of the story. Nothing felt too extreme or just there for added drama. Each thing made sense when looking at the story as a whole.
