The Way of Kings An absolute masterpiece. The world of Roshar is introduced in breathtaking detail, and Kaladin’s arc is one of the best underdog stories ever written. Dalinar’s visions, the mystery of the Shattered Plains, and Szeth’s haunting presence all make for an unforgettable start. Favorite Quotes: “Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.” “The most important step a man can take is the next one.”
