Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to make another convert.

[BepstheBookworm]

We induct another convert, MWAHAHAHAAAA!!! But seriously, love your videos, glad you enjoy Stormlight!

[justApigeon.]

This book has the most captivating prelude and introduction I’ve ever read. I knew from those alone that I would need to read this whole series.

[bridgetthewisdomdragon]

I highly recommend checking out audiobook clips for name pronunciations! But I'm also just a huge fan of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading who are the narrators (they're both so good, I love listening to them).

I'm so glad you're enjoying this series and love your enthusiasm.

Just subscribed to your channel. I just discovered you through this video; and I'm utterly charmed by your enthusiasm and your description of TWoK. I read Books 1-4 of the Stormlight Archive last year and although I did not go into reading it with the same misgivings you did, I was thoroughly hooked after just the first few pages. I read the books back to back and boy it was an emotional rollercoaster. Watching this video was like reliving my emotions from that first read. I'm in the mindset now of preparing for when Wind and Truth drops next month and I don't have the time for a re-read of the series so far. So channels like yours are helping me to remember the details of the story and refresh my enthusiasm. Happy reading! I hope you enjoy every twist and turn and all the emotional challenges you are about to encounter with this read.

Pronunciation help. I just read this as well, but via audiobook, and here is how they pronounced the names :) :
Shallan - Shuh-lon
Jasnah - Yas-nuh
Syl - Sill
Szeth - Zeth

I loved Kaladin. Love how depression was conveyed through him.

[trashedx]

I'm so excited you're liking it! I also found you from Merph's book club. Book One is so magical.

[Soenel]

Welcome to the Stormlight archives from someone who has read the series uptill the 5th book which is not out yet. I love your reaction and you have earned a subscriber. Now remember Journey before destination.

[Reelreads]

So glad you're enjoying this book. Look forward to your full review.

[marieestrella]

OMG! I am here for your point of view! I love-love-love this series so much! I wish I can read it for the first time too! ❤❤❤

[passmorebooks]

I found your channel through watching your Opposites Attract Book Club series with Merphy, and you are so fun to listen to! I LOVE this series and am so glad you're liking it so far. I've been reading the first four books to get ready for book 5 in December and have had a lot of fun vlogging my experience! You have great thoughts and predictions, and I'm excited to see how you keep liking the series. (:

[tcchan]

I know fantasy isn't usually your jam, but I thought there was a chance you would like this series since the plot and how everything weaves together is so intriguing! Glad you're enjoying it so far Amber. Will definitely be following you on your journey!

[fantasyreader]

I did finish this book, and it had me in its grip from the moment I read the first page. The prologue was amazing. It really set things up for the rest of the chapters and story. Keep reading it, and you will be staying up late reading the ending.

[fjuran]

Welcome to the party. Really a remarkable series You are very lucky that the fifth book has been released and you have the completion of the first arc. I on the only had am doing a reread, since I read the first three on publication.
Good luck, great video.

[NaritaZaraki]

Ah I'm so excited for you! 🥰 This is a long and deeply rewarding journey.

[elevationhealthdebary]

Yay! Another Stormlight journey to follow. Hopefully you stick through it. Each time i find one of these it gives me an opportunity to relive the joy of reading through it for the first time. The reread value on these books is so good. Ive probably listened to the audiobook of way of kings at least 15 times and each time i still find new stuff. Hope you enjoy the journey

[DontTickleGandalf]

Really loving this review of the first few chapters. Your perspective is so interesting to hear! And you caught stuff I never did. Hope to keep up with this.

[neilpharmd]

just started Way of Kings myself last month and taking my time getting through book 1 (got to part 3 yesterday). such a good read and loving every moment of it. wish i found about Sanderson earlier and wish i had all the time in the world to read all of them before book 5 comes out next month. nonetheless, great to see your fresh prospective of the Stormlight Saga and i've subscribed to your channel to follow your cosmere journey alongside mine. happy reading!

I am so glad you are enjoying it! It’s so fun to hear your thoughts. I found this series super intimidating as well, but man, it’s so worth it. It’s now my favorite series! I could talk about it for days 😂

I’m excited to hear what you think as the story goes on. This series truly has some of the best characters and character relationships ever.
