The Way of Kings

This book was fantastic! It has very interesting characters and an imaginative world. It was definitely world-building on a grand scale, because you just get the feeling that we have barely scratched the surface even though this book was huge. Though a little slow in some places, the structure and pacing were very good, and by the time it got to the climactic conflict I was breathlessly looking for any excuse to ditch work so I could continue reading. I love that there is so much more to learn about this world and these characters, that there are strong female characters, and the combat with Shardblades and Binding were so brilliantly done.
