The Way of Kings is Brandon Sanderson’s first book in a planned ten book series called the Stormlight Archive. Following in the footsteps of massive fantasy series’ like Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time and Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen there is no doubt that Sanderson intends this series to be his magnum opus
The Way of Kings is over 1,200 pages long in paperback and features four different major plots. In scope, size, and page count this is one of the largest books’ in the genre. People who are familiar with Brandon Sanderson’s work can expect excellent world building and magic systems, but they will find he still struggles with writing prose and developing secondary characters. Nevertheless, this is my favorite book by Brandon Sanderson thus far.
