The Way of Kings, Part 1

This book should definitely be thought of as one whole rather than two parts. In that sense part II continues the epic start that part I had. The plot builds to a fantastic crescendo, really setting the scene for the continuation of the series. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book!
Why did I wait so long to read this masterpiece? I could not stop reading for a second. Shalan's POV is my absolute favourite, despite what other reviews say. The 5th book (and last in this half of the series) will be released at the end of next year, so I will take my time reading the other Stormlight Archive books. I can't wait to continue, though :) I just can't believe how much I loved this book!
These thousand page high fantasy classics (TOMES) are always so fucking rewarding, how could I ever want to read anything else?
I loved it. I wish I read it sooner. I wanted to dive into the next book right away but I also feel like I need a breather.
I'm a very character motivated reader and I got attached immediately to Kaladin and Shallan. I feel like this series has the potential to destroy me and that is exciting.
Rereading in preparation to Wind and Truth, it's incredible the amount of foreshadowing and hints given for future events in the series. I'm sure some of the biggest mysteries, not only for next book but even for the next 5 have already been hinted at in this first book.
