Shantanu (coldblade) | 15 comments Updated Post #126
Finished my first book, The Way of Kings. It was an awesome read and I think it fully deserves the high rating it has on Goodreads. It took me a while to finish my first book for this challenge, but this was a long read and hopefully I'll pick up some pace now.


message 464: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra | 5832 comments I'm glad to hear you liked The Way of Kings, Shantanu. I picked up the kindle version when it was on sale, not really knowing much about it (other than that I wanted to read the author), but I've heard such good things about it recently that I'm bumping it up my priority list.
