The Way of Kings

First half: 8/10
Second half: 5/10.

The writing is pedestrian, but not bad. The world is obviously incredibly multidimensional and well thought-out. The plot in this book was just mind-numbingly slow. In all three main plotlines, the setting NEVER CHANGED. It just wore me down. I kept thinking something epic was going to happen. There were a few good and well-written action scenes. But man, such a massive book for so little to actually happen.
