The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
5.0

(Reread) I loved getting back into the Stormlight Archive with its engaging magic system, huge world, and dynamic characters. Even though this book focuses on Kaladin's backstory, we still get enough hints for Shallan and Dalinar, and even Adolin, Jasnah, and Navani, to understand their motivations and goals. I know Renarin is more of a minor character but I love him so much and can't help wanting more from him. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that the ending feels relatively satisfying (we got a lot of our questions answered, Kaladin has his crew safe, Shallan is firmly established as Jasnah's ward, and Dalinar has a newfound purpose) while still leaving so much open to explore in the rest of the series. Just pure fun!
