My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reading The Way of Kings feels a lot like entering another world. It had a similar feel to Wheel of Time in that it was so well developed, and entertaining that I fell in love with it, but I could also sum up the major plot elements in a sentence or two.
It is truly masterful to be able to write and incorporate such detail while keeping the reader engaged and Sanderson is a master of making this balance. There were several twists in this book that I'm sure will pan out in future books but it still had a solid ending that left me feeling satisfied, which is a must for me in five star ratings.
I'm looking forward to reading other books in this series and I recommend it to all ages of fantasy readers. It is a clean fantasy book which is hard to find, but very refreshing. I loved this book all around. Another great success for Sanderson!
