Description

From number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, book one of the Stormlight Archive, begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion.

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 10 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 10 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.

The result of more than 10 years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making.

Speak again the ancient oaths:

Life before death.

Strength before weakness.

Journey before destination.

And return to men the Shards they once bore.

The Knights Radiant must stand again.

Excellent read

I wasn't sold by the first chapter but this book quickly picks up with a unique world of rock and crustaceans and fascinating well-developed characters.

The Way of Kings

This book is absolutely AMAZING! I was captured from the first minutes and look forward to the sequels. The author did a really good job of introducing terms at a manageable rate to not overwhelm the listener.I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in fantasy/adventure novels. It's so good it may even get you interested in the genre!

Started slow but worth sticking with

Was very hard to understand and get into at the beginning. By the end I actually couldn’t stop listening, especially the last hour. I didn’t notice it was a series until a few days ago and have bought the rest of the books. Hoping very much they continue to impress.

First Fantasy type novel

Fantastic, I have not had a book pull me in so much in a long time, was hard to stop listening.

So much detail in his writing, very well thought out characters and the different story lines were great.

Will be moving on to Book 2 now.

Epic!

I've enjoyed other books by the author but had put off starting this series. I was feeling like some epic fantasy, though, and this really delivered! Really enjoyed this epic novel and went straight into the second book. Both narrators were good. #Audible1

My Favorite Series

Brandon Sanderson is my favorite author; it all started with Mistborn a couple years ago. Enter The Way of Kings, Book 1 of the Stormlight Archive. The characters are relatable, the magic system is imaginative and engaging. Fantasy readers beware - this could be your new obsession! #Audible1

Complex and Thorough

Brandon Sanderson has built another complex and thorough world for us to immerse ourselves in. It is complicated but comes together nicely. An excellent book for those of us who enjoy such things.
