Путь королей

This was a thick pocket book. Over 1250 pages of fantasy and adventure with a fair bit of violence, deception, magic and conflict. This book, or was it series of books has been compared to those by Tolkien although I would not go that far.

I found the story a bit confusing as it consists of many different threads, that only at the end of the book starts to come together.

I would recommend the book to anyone who is not intimidated by its thickness and weight, and likes good fantasy world building.

The Way of Kings is a worldbuilding masterpiece. Its characters are rich and internally complex, their stories are fascinating, and their motivations compelling (even when you disagree with them). The single exception to this is the Shallan arc.

This is not because Shallan is a bad character, but because she's a decent character surrounded by great ones, and because it takes too long for her arc to connect to the main story.

I highly, highly recommend reading this book, and most of this author's other works.

Amazing! I enjoyed this book so much, from world building to climatic twists. I am so excited to read the next in the series
