About the book:
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.

It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.

One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.

Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.

Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.

What's the biggest book you've ever read?

It was delightful to see how excited about the story you got! I remember reading the Way of Kings for the first time and it was fun to relive some of those memories.

You mentioned you wondered why Kaladin was in every part when other characters weren’t- the structure of the series is such that every book has a focus character. Book 1 is Kaladin, so he’s slightly more prominent in the plot and the message of the book. Book 2 is Shallan and so forth.

Way of Kings may be tho longest book you’ve read so far, but not for long, as each book in the series is at least a little longer in word count than the previous. The funny part is the author kept promising they’d get shorter but couldn’t help himself and we ended up with the majesty of the Ridiculously Long, Ridiculously Wonderful Stormlight Archive.

If you liked being surprised by the twists, definitely keep reading Sanderson!

I think I speak for all of us with Brandofandonitis when I say that we envy your ability to not be obsessed with Stormlight. I love it, yes, but I would really like it if I could actually have a coherent thought without it containing spoilers for the Cosmere. Oh well, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Oh wow that is a long comment. I may have gone a tad overboard. Have fun with Words of Radiance!

Its not that Kaladin is the authors favorite. Each book follows one character in flash backs. Way of kings only has Kaladin flashbacks. Words of radiance has Shallan flashbacks. Oathbringer is Dalinars.etc.

Great time to get into this series with the 5th coming out in December. Going through my reread now will check out your WoR review once I finish that one. Glad you’re enjoying it! Btw you have a great accent, is that a hint of the Atlantic provinces?

Great series I'm glad you are going to read it but just a tip from someone who has no experience in videos or any social media say "like" less.
