Kings of the Wyld is a book I'd recommend to probably everyone I know.
This story hits hard in all the good ways.
It knows what it is and executes it fucking perfect.

And god damn are the characters are a blast, let me tell you.

edit:
Ok, as I thought this book couldn't get any better I found the official playlist on spotify with songs corresponding to each chapter. Yes, I repeat: EACH CHAPTER. Guess who's jamming to some good old classic rock right now.

So I cried. A lot.
Cried to much my vision became blurry.
Cleared my nose of snot.
Thought about the ending again.
Cried some more.
Revisited the first book.
Cried again.

I gotta say. It's not my favorite of the three.
But nonetheless as a whole: Brandon Sanderson has crafted an unfathomably vast world filled with characters - that undoubtedly (tho personally) are the best ones I have ever experienced. I'm already longing for the feeling when I first dived into this story.
I know it can never be replicated.
It also means that this story will stick with me.
And that's all I can wish for.

I don't know how I feel about the ending. It's definitly not bad, but I just feel that it missed something I cannot put into words right now.
But enough of that. What about the book as a whole and as a sequel?

It was really good, but not mind-blowingly good - if that makes sense :D
I really appreciated the characters (especially the protagonists - damn son, I love'em dearly) and the snippets of worldbuilding that we got besides the main setting - even though i wished there has been more, so I would have been even more immersed in the story. I don't feel that the 2nd one is as strong as it could have been. The stakes where higher and I enjoyed the twist that she put in the setting that became familiar.

Oh and on a side note: Not a lot happens plot wise, particular in the middle - the characters made it up for me but it might be something to consider.
But hey, who am I to judge. I'm just a girl who has no clue about anything and is writing this at midnight, although she should be sleeping.

4,2 outta 5

Would recommend checking out.
Because let's be honest: Just the way Victoria writes makes it worth reading.
