Shallan, an academic and a thief on a quest to pilfer a valuable object that could restore her family to its former glory.

Kaladin, a surgeon’s son who took his talents to war to protect his younger brother, then was branded as a slave and sent to work as a bridgeman.

Though there are too many characters to describe here, here are a few key players in this opening volume: Sanderson has a vision, and he places bricks at various places from time to time, only revealing the wondrous finished sculpture when a 200-page conclusive explosion–often referred to as the Sanderlanche– erupts. Kings is a book that is thematically centered on discovery, both in its plot and its ideas. In reality, The Way Of Kings connects its myriad plots like the world’s most complex Lego set. I have, of course, diluted this summary so far that the average Stormlight fan will chide me for my stupidity. Their primary objective? Recover gemhearts, which can produce and power magical armor and weaponry. The Way Of Kings drops readers into the heart of a massive world-though much of this book takes place in Alethkar-where various peoples are at war. But, as a recent Sanderson initiate (thanks to site owner Andrew), I still want to take a few hundred words to explain exactly what I loved about The Way Of Kings.

Chances are I won’t sway you to read The Stormlight Archive if you haven’t already been lured by the fantasy community’s opinion of Sanderson’s work. It’s a freedom I grant myself because 1) I have nothing bad to say about The Way of Kings and 2) I have nothing new to say about it.

I’ll just exude a nondescript glow as I wax romantic about this book. Repeat violators will be banned.You can expect this review to feel a lot like a Shardplate oozing Stormlight.
