The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
adventurous challenging emotional funny tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The Way of Kings is a lot to unpack. The entire plot has readers reeling as each chapter unfolds. The characters are not hard to know and love; Sanderson, while having multiple POVs, is able to help the reader keep track of who's who and keep the plot streamline. I became a huge fan of Sanderson as I continued to read this book because HOW do you keep track of everything?!? - This truly is high fantasy. The world-building is not done delicately, readers are thrown into the story with as much as each POV knows. The world-building unfolds at a pace that leaves the reader never daring to put the book down because so much is happening.

I'm excited to see where the story goes next and how the world unfolds even more.
