Brandon Sanderson answered the question of how to top The Way of Kings. He somehow made me love the characters I hated (Dalinar & Adolin) while making me love the characters I liked (Kaladin & Shallan) even more. I’ve never had quite this emotional response to a book. My adrenaline was pumping during the entire last 500 pages. I was fully invested in every storyline, wondering about things I thought couldn’t have been over, and trying to figure out where on earth it could all go from here. The book-long buildup of characters made the culmination so satisfying. Seeing our main characters finally cross paths & form relationships with one another made it seem that two of my friends became friends with each other. Seeing the roller coaster of character arcs go up & down for 1200 pages to finally blow me away at the end was worth the month & a half I spent reading it. (It was the holidays! Life got busy!) I will leave my review a 5/5 until Goodreads allows me to give a higher score. PS Rysn’s interlude was great & I’m pretty stoked for Dawnshard!
