Interesting story if you stick with it
Reviewed: 01-28-21
This story has some pretty cool aspects to it. The first book took a while to get through due to unfamiliarity with the names of races and places, but by the end of book 3 you're pretty comfortable with it. I can definitely see much of Tolkien in the story and the battle scenes feel like they were pulled right from Age of Empires 2!
One thing I struggled with was it felt like there was not one enemy goal. It felt like each enemy had different motives and none of them supported the others besides stopping the forward progression of the protagonists.
I really appreciated the character arch of many of the protagonists and was satisfied with the ending.
The performance was really well done and made for an engaging listen.

Story5 out of 5 stars 96,808
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

The Way of Kings kicks off the action from the very beginning! The world becomes very familiar and the magic second nature quickly yet some ideas and characters leave you thinking for days! Great story and HIGHLY recommend!
