By Brandon Sanderson

On the hard world of Roshar, storms of enormous power sweep across the world. But some are affected by them in strange ways. On the Shattered Plains, armies fight to avenge the death of a king – and to collect powerful items. Wearing ancient “shardplates” and fighting with ancient shardblades – those wearing these are near invincible… but these come from ancient times, when the abandonment of the Knights Radiant left the world without their defenders.

The Way of Kings is an ancient text within the world that the assassinated king and then his brother. Its part of the impressive world building we get here. This book takes a while to really get going. But once it does its engrossing. Glad I finally gave Sanderson a try.
