Guys... really. Sanderson's world building is shallow? That is way, way beyond absurd. Sanderson's world is built with so many layers and intricacy... I am not aware of any other author that is comparable in that regard. There are plenty of reasons given why the cultures on Roshar are the way they are. Much of the Alethi culture is a result of the religious schism that was the recreance and how that event is remembered. It resulted in a very strict societal structure with a rigid class system and very defined roles for each member in that society. To nitpick that the genesis of a specific social norm like the "safehand" is not explicitly explained is silly. The real point is that it (and the strict roles of men and women) fit exceptionally well to a society of that nature. I would argue that the somewhat arbitrary nature of this social construct (safehand) was very much intended by Sanderson. The comparison with Tolkien is very funny. In the Lord of the Rings practically NOTHING is explained. Hobbits just are the way they are, same for Orcs, same for Elves and so on. While Tolkien's world was created with a lot of originality, at the same time it is very, very simplistic. There is good, there is bad, and very little in between. And no, having separate works of literature (the Silmarillion for one) does not compensate for that. There is a reason that all that exposition is not done in the LOTR and the same is true for Sanderson's work. Your basic argument that Sanderson is using relatively straightforward prose so the world building is also rather simple makes no sense at all. Those are two different topics. I have the feeling that your objection to the worldbuilding is mostly rooted _in the way_ the world is explained, and how organic that feels to you (and this is an argument I can somehow follow), but again, that is not really the wordlbuilding itself, that is about how you feel it is communicated to you.

"Why do Vorin women have their 'safehand' covered?" This was raised in the video, as an argument that a few things in this world are not explained, and don't seem to make sense, but are just thrown at you. Am reading Words of Radiance at the moment, and Shallan gives the answer to that (page 365): Tyn: It's just a hand, Shallan. [..] That hand looks exactly like your other hand. Shallan: A lot of women have breasts that aren't much more pronounced than male ones. That doesn't make it right for them to go out wearing no shirt, like a man would! Our society has some norms that "we just do", and we don't necessarily understand their origin. You may consider something "indecent", but that doesn't make it objectively indecent. For example, something one culture considers incident, another doesn't. I agree however that ideally in the world of Roshar we'd like an explanation from a culture's POV on some of the cultural norms, but we have to remember that, even in real life, not always do we have an explanation about why we do things the way we do. "It's just is".

​@sheronimakaroni3426 it is though. It may be randomly decided or there may be some reverence to the hand based on something in the forgotten histories. In the US, it used to be very slutty to show your ankles. It then switched to the knees where courtesans would put red powder on their knees. Now it's mainly like the breasts. In Middle Easter countries, women wear hijabs. Propriety changes in society and is sometimes weird. Stormlight is no different.

53:31 For the worldbuilding, the thing is, there IS a history for it. However, there's two things to consider: 1) a lot of knowledge had been lost through the Desolations, which set humanity back thousands of years. 2) A lot of it simply isn't relevant to characters to just...tell the audience. The safe-hand thing IS actually explained, but only to Kaladin, briefly, because the other characters (Shallan, Dalinar, Adolin, Navani) already KNOW it. They don't HAVE to have it explained to them. Like...I know I personally don't go around thinking about the history of the sandwich, I just eat a sandwich. The characters aren't going to be thinking about aspects of the world every time they appear. In that, I think the book is actually MORE realistic for it, because all of that history is in the background, except for when characters are trying to find things out.
@tristanwood8696
@tristanwood8696 Жыл бұрын
you kept talking about 4,000 years ago but that was the end of the last desolation the first destination was about 10,000 years ago and in between now and the last destination the recreance happened which reset Society again. the first book also talks about how the Church change and destroyed a lot of histories to match their beliefs before they were deposed from power.
@Jaminri
@Jaminri Жыл бұрын
I think the history question is answered in later books and maybe even addressed in this one. The desolations were coming more and more often and so they lost progress. After the final desolation they were finally able to begin progressing again, but at that point they were basically back to the Stone Age. Look at real human history. The Stone Age lasted 2 million years and we have no written record of it. The Bronze Age finally started 5,000 years ago and even that we barely have fragments of. It’s mostly just artifacts we use to reconstruct that time with some basic written records like hieroglyphs.

Also like Austin was trying to point out, there was the Sunmaker conquest, the Hierocracy, the Shin Invasion. Only one of them is really talked about in the first 2 books, because it was relevant to be introduced, but I think it'd unfair to criticize the first book on a 4000 year history gap when there's already SO MUCH of the current world that readers need to learn about, AND the flashbacks from thousands of years ago. To try and inform readers about all of the history that happens between 4500 years ago and present day, seems like a bit much to ask.

I agree with the guy on the left on his critiques. The words in the book felt secondary to the plot rather than part of it. There were so many instances of repetition throughout the work that felt redundant, and the specific prose in many instances felt lacking. Many characters winced and regarded each other. Similarly, the world-building was either a litany of facts and terms put into your face, or just chalked up to lost history. Overall the work was still very enjoyable, binged it in a few days. But not a definite recommend to everyone for me, 9/10.

Finally started reading it after a crazy storm took out my power for a few days. I think that this book helped lead me away from the brink. Almost done with Rhythm, then going back to the beginning of the Cosmere with Elantris.

Way of Kings is my third favorite Stormlight Book... I think? I'd rate them 4>3>1>2. I seem to be alone in not liking book 2 :-/ EDIT: The way I read the big gap in history is that... they were in a literal dark age and all the history has been completely forgotten. The world had been so devastated that until only a thousand years ago things hadn't gotten better at all.

As a character I like Dalinar, but his overall plotline in WoK felt a little boring. But he has one of the best character moments. The part where he takes a warhammer and starts doing the slave work while thinking to himself is one of the most epic moments and it does not have any fighting at all, whenever I think about that part, Dalinar's theme instantly starts playing in my head

Do not agree with Kaladin and depression . I would say its more trauma and survival anxiety than depression. Of course someone being an bridgeman would think their life is worthless. Kaladins story is more like having the strength of doing what is needed while exhausted and being a guiding light. The only reason Kaladin had that was because of his special abilities.

I wouldn’t say there’s too much exposition or not enough action, however it does feel a bit meandering at this point, all the plot threads and characters are super intriguing and I’m enjoying reading it but there’s very little overarching plot to grasp onto so far, like there’s no real goal yet other than the characters personal current struggles; Kaladin wants to save his bridge crew, Dalinar wants to find out why his brother was killed and unite Alethkhar, Shallan wants to save her family. All of those perspectives are fun to read but I have moments where I’m like ok but why are we learning about these characters?

The same thing happened in Europe several times, and between desolations and the dissolution of the Heirocracy, the loss of knowledge is explained CABBAGE

I just finished the Wheel of Time series and needed to jump into another series ASAP. I was introduced to Sanderson's writing of the last 2-3books of WOT. So jumped onto this series. So now I am on like chapter 42 of WOK. Baby, I can't stand Dalinar's damn nephew King. I just can't stand his lil' punk a$$. I do enjoy the story line and the prose of writing.

Absolutely - it’s on our schedule to give each one a complete review. (We will spread them out, of course, because as much as we love Sanderson we still want to diversify the content so that not every video for a month straight is on the Stormlight Archive)

I hated this book. So damn long with so little happening. I know I'm meant to root for Kaladin but I was so bored by his sections. The whol moddle half of the book felt like maybe 50 pages worth of stuff actually happened despite being a stretch of 400+ pages.

Darn, maybe you’ll enjoy Mistborn by Sanderson, it’s a lot less dense!

I'm only 1 minute into this episode, and I already relate. I've always loved fantasy, but when I was younger I used to love reading and writing. In the last 2 years I decided to take it up again, and I started with The Way of Kings. I've read the first 3 books in the Stormlight Archive, it is indeed my favourite series of all time thus far. I definitely attribute my continued reading adventures to it. So excited to hear you guys ramble about these books as I don't really have a friend group or anything else to share my love of this series with. EDIT: Cabbage

I did make it to the end #cabbage, and I love the passion 😂 I just finished this book last night, and it really was epic just like everyone has said. Dalinar is the absolute man! SPOILER My fist pumping moment was definitely when Dalinar gave up is blade for all the Bridgemen. “Strength does not make one capable of rule, it makes one capable of service”. Truly was great to see him both live up to his morals/ideals, while not being selfish as he knows he can be. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
