Jeff answers “When does anything interesting start...”

Kevin asked this question about The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1):

When does anything interesting start because I am about 40 to 50% through and I am still not interested. This makes reading this book a chore. Please tell me when or if this book starts to get engaging? Thank You.

In book one of ten books all over 1000 pages, naturally there's going to be a lot of page space dedicated to world building and character development. But that's why people love big series like this; it makes the eventual payoff that much more valuable to the reader.

As the other commenter said, however, the plot does pick up speed consistently throughout the book and does eventually turn from a snowball into an avalanche. (less)
