David - proud Gleeman in Branwen's adventuring party’s Reviews > The Way of Kings > Status Update

This book is so amazing! I'm almost 1,200 pages in and it STILL keeps getting better and better! I can totally undersatnd why even this guy can't put the book down...

"You seduced me."
"Seduced?" She glanced back at him. "I've never been more open and honest in my life."
"I know. That was the seductive part."
That...was...beautiful...

You would think that after almost a thousand pages, my interest would be waning some, but...nope! This book...STILL AWESOME! :D

"I hate being wrong."
Those four simple words made for one of the most powerful moments yet! Oh, that one got me right in the feels!

That scene where Shallan kept finding bizarre misshapen creatures in her sketches was so creepy, it was worthy of Stephen King himself! That scary sequence gave me quite a jolt! :o

"You killed four men! You did this just to prove that you could!"
Yeah, I suspected that character would eventually come over to the dark side...Darth Vader would be proud!

JASNAH - "If you took half the energy you devote to being witty and channeled it into your work, you could be one of the greatest scholars of our age. You have quite the mouth on you at times."
SHALLAN - "At times? You mean it's not there at others?"
Oh, Shallan, I'm so glad you're back!

"ROCK - "No, no, not with weapons. At the Peaks, duel is involving much beer and singing."
TEFT - "How is that a duel?"
ROCK - "He who can still sing after the most drinks is winner. Plus, soon, everyone is so drunk that they probably forgot what argument was even about!"

"I understood in a moment of stillness. Those candle flames were like the lives of men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they would destroy the very things they were meant to illuminate."
Whoa...that's really deep! :o

First Kaladin was my favorite character...then it was Shallan the scholar-turned-thief...then Sylphrena the wind sprite stole my heart...now Dalinar with his bizarre visions is rapidly becoming yet another favorite. What can I say, when it comes to the characters in this book...
