The Way of Kings

Slow Start but a great ending.

I personally consider Brandon Sanderson's books to be mystery books. We are placed in a completely different world of which we have no idea and we have to figure out how the world ticks. I love having a small notebook while reading his books where I can write my discoveries and start speculating on the future reveals, half of the fun happens between reading sessions. I never get them all but somehow even if I predict a plot twist before it happens I still get pleased by seeing my theories unfolding before my own eyes, because of the journey. JOURNEY BEFORE DESTINATION. And the plot twist I don't predict lead to jaw-dropping moments where I am like... OMG how is this happening and why didn't I see that coming??? It was all there.

I can not say much about the plot because anything I could say about it could be considered a spoiler, the magic lies in discovering it on your own.
You just got to experience it yourself and figure things out by yourself, it makes it 10 times more enjoyable.

I must warn you that this book has in my opinion a very slow start. Since we have several characters we got to know them well before the story even begins. I would say I got fully invested in the story more or less 400 pages in. Many people would be put off by such a big introduction (not me), but let me tell you ... it is 100% worth it. Just push through it and you will thank me later.

All in all this book is a classic Brandon book, great while reading and between reading sessions.
