Why You Should NOT Read The Way of Kings or Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson (No Spoiler)

Don't do it, don't even think about doing it. Reading The Way of Kings will only take over your whole life and then you have to wait for 6 more books! NOT recommended!

Wow, some really compelling points! I'm going to get started un-reading these books right this minute. Thank you for opening my eyes! ❤️📖

[PetrikLeo]

The clickbait is strong with this one... 🤣

There being a prelude, a prologue and 9 interludes are actually a legit reason to have concerns about the story's pacing.

I managed to finish wok, it being the first book I've read since the Percy Jackson books😂 one of the most fulfilling experiences and gripping stories I could ever ask for. Yes it took me months to read with large breaks in between but it was hands down the greatest reading experience I've encountered. Halfway through words of radiance and only sinking deeper into my stormlight addiction

It's a series I put off for years but when I did pick it up I binged books 1-3 in 3 weeks and man it was great.

[BookishChas]

Great reasons to definitely read this series. It’s one of my favorites. The size and weight of the book is easily handled by just buying the ebooks. 😂

"Stormlight won't fit in your pocket unless you've got JNCO jeans" sounds like a great reason to pick up a pair of JNCOs 😂

1000 pages?! Might just get it to use as a weapon!
I thought I was going to start this sooner and then Gardens of the Moon took up so much time. But soon enough.

When I saw the title of this video, I thought to myself NO WAY, I haven't read them yet but have them coming to me next mont for my birthday after, watching the video I finally took a deep breath.
I have read for 35 years and I have predominantly read thrillers, and horror I said to myself that I would try new books and I stumbled across fantasy, and you on YouTube and I have to say it I am loving every minute of it.
Still on gardens of the moon about 450 pages in but finally have a weekend off work so I intend to finish it.
Love your content and your enthusiasm for fantasy, keep up the great work.
Happy reading.

Where do we stand on doble lined bookshelves? All mine are double lined, which stops me from showing off my library in all its glory. But if they weren’t, I wouldn’t have enough room. Thoughts?

dude straight up danced throughout the whole video with one of those old timey slow dance moves

I love long books as long as it’s good. And, the Stormlight Archive is AWESOME! The whole time I am reading I am lost in another world. That’s why I read fantasy. I want to escape this world and life for a time. And Sanderson delivers that to me on a silver, stormlight infused fabrial platter. SO. FUGGING. GOOD. BS has become one of my two favorite writers, the other being Neil Gaiman(who is responsible for getting me hooked on getting lost in books). Good review, mate. I just hope that Brandon S. continues to be in good health and finishes the series, unlike the GoT series, which is also a great read. I’m out.

As of yesterday I've read all of the currently published Cosmere books apart from Stormlight... After I give myself a small Brando Sando break with a book or 2 (as I usually do) I will get straight into Stormlight. Im beyond hyped for this!!!

"You get a lot of world building as you run to the next battle on the Shattered planes." I love how you put it 😂

[mrgauth]

I would completely agree. Loved it. The next one is even better, believe it or not. About to start book 3 and cannot wait. I am reluctant to start though because don't want to get caught up with series and have years to wait for the next to be written.

[FineReads]

I see what you did there ;)
One of those series I still have to get into. Not gonna lie, the size of the books doesn’t make it easier

[jokovic]

i tried to listen carefully, but my eyes kept twitching and going to the double stack on the left shelf

[TreeBeardBookReviews]

Nothing like the old switcheroo 😂. Great video Bryce! Gotta love Sanderson. Have you read Rhythm of War yet, cant remember if you said you have. You are so right about it being a big book but its such a digestible read that you fly through it. Big book with small book feel

[GenerationX]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks a prelude before a prologue in the book is too much. A bit redundant perhaps.

[abbydun]

I think I read that book in a week or less, it was addicting! WOR took me maybe a little more than a week. I'm trying to pace myself now. I didn't know there was going to be 10! 😳
