While I think this book doesn't excell in worldbuilding and telling a great story standing on its own as much as other Sanderson books, it hints on subsequent novels becoming quite complex. It didn't feel like a 1200 page book: it wasn't dense, it didn't span a huge amount of time and it's actually quite easy to follow. Understanding it as 3 interconnected 400p stories, each per POV, comes closer to what my experience with it was like. Not saying that the POV chapters were split evenly, though. I liked Shallans parts and they showed the right amount of her story to get to where she is supposed to be now, but in comparison there was so little time spend with her that I just didn't connect the same way as I did with Kaladin and Dalinar. These two have really compelling struggles, but I have to admid that Kaladins backstory was hyped up too much for me. While it isn't my favorite book by the author, I love how it poses questions of morality and selfworth for the characters to deal with in engaging ways and provides so much potential and probably foreshadowing for the sequels to go really in depth with the world and its consequences. The ending was, as I've come to expect from Branderson, really effective as well. From the first books it seems that it's probably his most character-focused series and I appreciate that.
What a banger
What an incredible book! It’s pretty much what I was expecting from this author. He takes so much time for character and world building and I love it. We really get to know the characters, start to care for them so deeply. And the mysteries of the world Sanderson is building make it such an exciting read! Not predictable at all, but everything seems to come together at some point. For me this book has such a satisfying end. Storylines marched together, some of the mystery resolved but still so much to explore. I bought the second book straight away and can’t wait to get into it! This did not feel like a 1200 page book.
Wie schon der erste Teil konnte mich auch sie zweite Hälfte von „The Way of Kings“ komplett überzeugen. Die Geschichte nimmt eindeutig an Fahrt auf und man lernt auch die Figuren nochmal besser kennen. Und erste Handlungsstränge kommen zusammen. All das macht mich jedoch nur noch gespannter auf den zweiten Teil.
