    I read a book once that was from an alien perspective; distinctly not human. Yet all their nouns for things were based off the human world. I found this unhelpful for the narrative. Never heard of this book but it does sound interesting. The ant like characters sounds like a lovely bit of imagination. And that can go a long way.

    I discovered G.O.T/ T.W.I and Brandon Sandersons T.W.K completely organically...no one recommended them to me, i had never heard of the authors i knew nothing about any of these series when i first discovered them. And in my humble opinion Pirate Alba's T.W.I will probably go down in history as the greatest fantasy book of all time. I know thats a bold claim, and yes i have read robert jordans W.O.T and joe Abercrombie and robin Hobbs series..but there is something about the characters and the scope of T.W.I that is beyond belief. Also no book has ever made me laugh and cry so much in single series. I cannot rate and recommend this book highly enough. Its a shame that its length is somewhat of a barrier for some people, and the errors and slow build up of the first book are not ideal, but its so worth it. I hope u keep reading the books. And as others have mentioned the audiobooks are even better. Good review. Keep up the good work!

      @@fedebooks Haha that's funny about you also playing CK. I thought that was an obscure reference. I haven't played anything in the series until a few weeks ago, and have gotten my butt kicked until now. I'm like 300 years into the game as the Byzantine Empire and have restored the Roman Empire. I'm thinking of calling the game a win, because there's really no challenge anymore to me, just picking apart my smallest neighbors one by one. Kinda bored and thinking of starting somewhere else. And the book of mine I usually suggest to people to start out on is either Egyptian Demise or Keeping Creed. Egyptian Demise is where my writing style begins taking shape (published two books before then), while Keeping Creed is a little less daunting a read, although the first book or two in that series is a bit more steamy on the romance, which I've definitely gravitated away from.

    I totally agree, i picked up the hardcover first edition way of kings back when it came out. I was excited to jump into a new epic world from the guy who finished wheel of time. Pretty much my favorite series ever. I was surprised when i just could not read another page, i was utterly bored and i was mid-book. I even scanned chapters ahead, does anything seem to change here? No theyre still in an endless war. Shallan, she had the vibe of a side character from the get go and i could not understand why we needed any of her story at all, i found myself skipping her chapters. Kaladin was only slightly more interesting by virtue of being male id wager, there was at least the possibility of something happening other than talking. Dalanar, this guy is just a name to me, someone other people in the book talk about. He seems interchangeable with all the other battle commanders in this boring war. Kaladins backstory, again boring, something about his father wanted him to be a doctor yada yada. I tried again on audible just because im like maybe its me? Everyone seems to love this series. It was absolutely mind numbing, i was never awake for longer than 10 minutes, id wake up someone would be talking about dalanar again. I continue to hate the way of kings. Im pretty sure i got words of radiance at the same time bc i had credits saved up. I haven't touched it.

Anyways, going back to Sanderson, you are totally right, the worst thing he has going for him is that he is just boring 80% to 90% of the time, we have a finite number of books to read in our lives, It's just not worth it for me spending my time reading the entire cosmere, maybe the younger generation has a different approach and needs everything "connected" I really don't know

    It's generally considered/advised to read New Spring around book 10, or even after the whole series. Just start with Eye of the World.

      Hello! That is actually good to know, man. I was going to start with New Spring because I saw someone doing it that way, but yeah, I'll do it publication order

    "Without metaphor, mystery, or hidden messages" Did you read the epigraphs before each chapter? They are all mystery and hidden messages. I see many people criticize Sanderson for his writing style and I don't get why. So his writing doesn't read like Charles Dickens. So what? Every Charles Dickens book sucks ass. People criticize his prose like they know what they are talking about. The definition of "prose" is: written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without metrical structure. So by that definition Sanderson has the best "prose" because he writes how people actually talk. Also what you describe as "filler" is full of foreshadowing and character development and mystery and hidden messages.

    Hot take alert damn. I appreciate your contrary opinion though. I loved way of Kings and thought oathbringer was mind numbing lol

    Holi, Fede 🤗. Solo he leído el primer libro. Recuerdo que me gustó, pero se me hizo muy pesado por tantas perspectivas de personajes (había varias que me aburrían o no me interesaban). Así que decidí avandonar la saga 😅. Saludos 😃.

      Hola, Cindyyyy, si la verdad te entiendo, yo voy a terminar la serie solo para saber como termina lol pero no es como que me guste mucho la verdad, tal vez el autor y yo simplemente no somos compatibles, saludosss

    I am struggling mightily to get through the first book. I’ve been working on it for months…but it’s just boring to me. I’m a huge Tolkien fan, started reading his work when I was 8, about thirty years ago. I’ve read a lot of fantasy and science fiction…but the way of kings just seems young, geared toward teens likely. Ironically, I like the interludes a lot…but I also cannot stand Shalan either.

      That happened to me as well, the first book was just painful to finish, and the only way for me to continue with the next books was skipping the interludes really lol but yeah, I know Shallan defenders exist but I just can't understand it haha
