The Way of Kings

The Way of Kings is one of the greatest epic fantasy stories I'll ever read. It is story's like this one that gets me excited about books and to keep reading.

Fantasy always gets a bad rep, as there is a misrepresentation of what classifies the term “fantasy.” Childish and unrealistic creatures that fly here and there, as well as a wild witch that has 17 toes or some shit. Plus those books that soil the good fantasy name and seem to have 1 too many goblins. Damn, I hate goblins so much. Whatever the case, “fantasy” is a broader term that elevates more than all that, and in the case of The Stormlight Archive series, there are people with true emotions and flaws. People who struggle with relatable issues that they eventually need to adapt to in the end. “Fantasy” expands from our world to manifest into something awesome and spectacular.

What's even greater about this book is that it's sequel is the greatest follow-up I've ever read in a book series, as well as holding a place in my top 3 favorite books ever. Time to jump into that now.
