I was recommended The Way of Kings from a friend of mine. I don’t usually read a lot of fantasy because I find it usually drags. One of my least favourite things to read about in books is war and as I started reading The Way of Kings, I was upset to realise the whole books is essentially about war. I persevered and told myself I would read the whole book but I probably wouldn’t pick up the second book. However, I was wrong. By the time I got near the end, I had goosebumps on my arms and tears in my eyes. When I wasn’t reading, all I was thinking about was this book and what was going to happen next. Like all fantasy novels, it takes a while to get into because there is so much detail needed for the world building but Brandon Sanderson absolutely nailed it. As soon as I finished this book, I bought the next four in the series. I NEED to know what happens next.

Overall, I loved it, I loved the world building and the characters. I rate it 4.5/5
