The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson - Restarting November 1st 2020
WOOHOO REREAD FOR THE WIN.I'm so excited to be rereading this! Getting back into Roshar with Shallan, Kaladin and more! I shall probably read this pretty quickly!
It's such a great book. I'm really excited to give it another read as well. And Kaladin is my favorite, so I'm prepared to cry just as much this time around as the last.
My favourite character is probably Szeth. I don't know why some people don't like him, seeing as he is just such a good character with awesome character development!
I really like Szeth. I'm interested to see what happens wig him in book 3. That should be interesting.
What I am really excited for is seeing the cover of the third book. I hope it has Wit on it or maybe Adolin or Dalinar!
I just want the third book. Even though I know it probably won't come out for another two years.
It's coming out next year. Each two years, a book comes out! :D

And I'm not sure why this is only saying I've added this and not rated it...
Lol I am just a little fact person haha. It was four years til Book Two because Brandon was writing A Memory of Light and that took up a lot of his time since it wasn't his original work so it'll definitely come out next year. :)
Haha it's so hard to resist starting it right now, but I am going to hold off until I finish Warbreaker or Half Bad.
Haha. Yeah, I know he was doing all of that. And I really hope it does come out next year. There are already two of his books coming out, three would be great! :D
Yes. You certainly can. :)
Yay! Yhank you :)I just have a couple of question:
1) I have the italian edition, it's a problem?
2) What is the pace of the reading? :)
Nope, not a problem. I'm sure there will be some differences due to translation, but nothing major. And we're just reading at our own pace. I'm rereading this so I'm planning to read around 4-5 chapters a day. Just post thoughts whenever you have any and we can discuss together. :)
Ok, thank you again! :)This book was waiting for me for months and months and months, so I'm so excited to read it, finally!!!!
It's one of my absolute favorites, so I really hope you enjoy it!
Me too, but I know that Sanderson is wonderful, so I have no doubts :P
I'm glad to hear it. He's my favorite.
He's one of mine, too :)
ARGH I'M SO LATE. I'M SORRY. UGH. I'm on the prologue.
That's alright, Max. I'm reading REALLY slowly, so you'll pass me anyway. :)Yes, Sibil! (view spoiler)
I know! It's amazing, what he can do.
I put aside this book for a period because I've travelled a lot (I didn't plan the travels, or I wouldn't have joyned the buddy read, sorry!) and I couldn't carry this book with me (it's sooooo huge, and it's weights!!!). But now I'm back and I pick up the book again, yay!I missed him so much! *_*
chapter 16-22 (view spoiler)
Yep. Wit is correct. And he's definitely a favorite. :)
chapter 23-second set of Interludes (view spoiler)I can't finish this book for the end of the month and I'm very sad, but I am loving it! (Not that I had doubts, Sanderson is always awsome!)
Yes, the interludes were interesting and I could see some connections on first reading, but they connected a lot more the second time around.
Can I keep commenting here until I finish the book, even if may is finished?
You definitely can, Sibil. And I'll still discuss it with you. :)
It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.
One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.
Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.
Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar’s niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan’s motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.
The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making.
Speak again the ancient oaths,
Life before death.
Strength before weakness.
Journey before Destination.
and return to men the Shards they once bore.
The Knights Radiant must stand again.
