The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson | Spoiler-Free Review

My review for The Way of Kings, book one in the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. This review is one of the most difficult I've had to make, due to how much there is going on in the book.

There remains an unwritten "unless something really sad happens..." but of course he intends on finishing the series. He's not known for getting writer's block so as long as we keep him from getting run over by a van then we should see it's end one day..

[@mukeka1337]

Sanderson completed the first draft of The Way of Kings in 2003. It was published 7 years later. He has been planning this series since at least the late 90s. And that is why it's head and shoulders above anything else he has written. It's not like he actually completes them in 2-3 years. Decades of work have gone into it. We'll see how he fares once he starts approaching the end like GRRM is.

[@renni9813]

FINALLY. I don't know why it took me this long to write up this review and film/edit it, just been so busy lately. Starting now I should be uploading more regularly. Had some difficulty filming and re-filming this review, as well as fixing audio problems, so it might be a bit choppy. Also, I meant to have some Stormlight Archive inspired bookmarks for sale in my Etsy shop, but haven't gotten around to designing them yet. They should be up once I start making the lore videos though!The Way of Kings is such an amazing book, and I recommend it to all fantasy lovers! Let me know who your favourite character is in the Stormlight Archive!

[@orrinscott-stewart3641]

You have a couple errors but altogether great vid

[@SgtLix]

Great video on a very great book series! Personally, I love Wit (or the King's Wit) the most, simply because he's not a character that we see too much of, plus it's always a joy and a wonderful journey to read about him...but from the main cast, I think I love Kaladin the most, closely followed by Shallan and now with Oathbringer Dalinar. These characters are all wonderful in their own right, but it's really their interactions that make them shine :D

[@DayV_D]

Okay so just one question : Patrick ROTHFUSS or Brandon Sanderson ??

[@moiissnoneofyourbusiness8957]

Hey Jay, I love your reviews and in-depth discussions. I think you're the best at reviewing things. I just watched your Mistborn Cosmere Lore videos. I think it would be great if you also looked at other series or books. Maybe have a video about Shadesmar from SA, or how Warbreaker connects to SA, Ashyn or Braize, or about Yolen etc. I know you're probably busy, but we really appreciate your work. what do you plan?

[@ChristmasLore]

Love your work man, but I've been watching your most recent videos, re watching some older ones...and I'm sad to notice that it's now the third year in a row you're promising to upload more regularly....hum. Maybe tone down on the Rothfuss's emulating road... It's so sad, your content is the best there is in Fantasy Booktube (please keep this focus).

[@peachakai]

If anyone is considering picking up this book for the first time, I highly recommend reading along with the Duke and Duchess Podcast! They cover 50 page chunks (about 5 chapters at a time) and then spin their theories as they go along. Right now, they are currently on Words of Radiance. They’ve also done the Kingkiller Chronicle and the Gentleman Bastards Sequence 👌🏻 I recommend them to everyone every chance I get because they’re just fantastic people and open your eyes to things you’ve missed ✨

[@sebas7794]

Great job, man! You are a big part of why I started reading again after so many years. Your videos make your personality shine and it just gets me excited to read and discover new books! It kinda bothers me that you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers haha. But oh well, that's how the world is.

[@unexpectedjourneywithbooks14]

Let me tell you something: listening to your reviews makes me want to dive into every book you talk about without hesitation (I started the Wheel Of Time after watching your review of your fisrt book). You have this particular way to analyze books with depth and precision and I think that's something most of the booktubers lack off. Daniel Greene and You are without any doubt my favorite booktubers, your contents are just original. And I am reading this one right now and since I started it I can't put it down. The universe, the characters, the story, everything is amazing. The dialogues!!! Man can we talk about that? The exchanges between the characters is so well written I don't them to stop talking. This is just amazing. PS: Sorry for my english, not very good at it.

Very well done, one of your longest and best reviews! You totally convinced me to read this in the future. The worlds he creates are indeed mind-blowing. It's great to watch Sanderson evolve after his Mistborn Trilogy that we buddy-read and it's very reassuring to know his work ethics too: he won't make us wait 37 years till the tenth book is released! ;) Can't wait for your next video!

[@CapturedInWords]

Dim Lian Thank you! Yeess he's a master world-builder, one of the best I've read ^_^ Mistborn had such an amazing world as well. And I agree, definitely reassuring to know his work ethics, he's a writing machine! One of the reasons why Stormlight Archive is now my top series over Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicle, is that I know Sanderson won't leave his readers hanging for 7+ years XD

[@DimitrisLian]

I'm very happy you wrote this last phrase. No matter the excuses, being reliabe matters deeply when one undertakes the task of writing a series. Respecting one's readers, one's source of income.

[@axelpower7334]

From a mainly non-fiction reader......The wisdom and lessons which come from the characters are incredible and you can definitely apply this to real life. No review can do this book justice, the story and characters are pure brilliance and it makes a lot of other fiction books look like children's books. The way each character shows a different level of society, and how optimizing each part of society comes together to create a better future. Im sure many different analogies can be taken from this book. Its definitely changed me for the better, as all books do!

[@kanadiankelly]

Great video. I just finished reading Oathbringer this week and now I don't know what to do with my life until Book 4 comes out! I'm having a hard time picking up something new because I'm not emotionally ready to let go of these characters and this world. Anyone else have this problem?? Looking forward to your other videos on this series!

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks! Tbh I'm a little nervous for finishing Oathbringer, because I think the same thing will probably happen to me and it will send me into a bit of a reading slump XD But I'll use that time to make a bunch of Stormlight Archive lore and theory videos so that should help! :) I already don't want this series to end, the characters and world are just so amazing. I'm so happy it will be a 10 book series though!

[@fictionmyth]

This is my favorite series of all time. I couldn't love it more and I'm so, so happy to see someone else enjoying it! I just gained yet another level of respect for Sanderson while watching this video. Simply because the information you just gave out must be insanely overwhelming to anyone who hasn't read the series before. "There's an assassin with magical powers known as Lashings and who used a Shardblade to fight the king of Alethkar, Gavilar, who is a Shardbearer also. During their fight, the Assassin, Szeth, can be seen drawing in Stormlight to fuel his magic. A power that hasn't been seen since the Recreance. Stormlight is a magical, yet in modern times is more often mundanely used, light which originates from these insanely huge hurricane like storms and can be captured inside of gemstones. Those stones, based on size and cut, can hold Stormlight for longer periods of time than small and uncut ones. These are also used as the primary currency in this society. Due to the assassination attempt on their king, the Alethi people are frenzied into a war known as the Vengeance Pact. This war is fought against the humanoid race known as the Parshendi. A cousin race to the docile Parshmen, this dull minded group who are distinguishable based on their marbled red, black, and/or white skin, yet they do have some differences to their Parshendi brethren. The Parshmen are treated something between a slave and a beast of burden. Their temperament and work ethic has actually made them more highly sought after than their human slave counterpart. Behind all of these things are millenniums old historical events. Times like the Shadow Days, a time of myth and lore, those events that were blasted away by the sands of time, the times when the Heralds of the Almighty first began returning at the leading edge of each Desolation, Desolations being events where an evil group known only as "The Voidbringers" appear and try to wipe mankind from the face of Roshar, and the time of the Knights Radiant, who are the collective group made up of virtuous magical warriors that, at some point, betrayed mankind to the Voidbringers..." and on you could go. Talking about things that sound like some sort of fever dream. Yet the way in which Brandon gives you all this information you rarely, if ever, get bored or overwhelmed reading about all of it. The world feels lived-in and interesting. The story is compelling to the point it's discouraging, or awe inspiring, if you're considering becoming a writer yourself. I cannot recommend this story enough. Don't let the fact it's planned to be 10 books discourage you. There will be two sets of five. Meaning you'll get at least some resolution after the next two books are released. Which Brandon writes so fast, I would image that both of them will be out by 2024. So, you needn't worry about living book to book for years and years and years to come.

I'm guessing you've finished way of the kings by now..? Do you agree with these top 5 characters? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ27kniFf7eFhbs

kinghailz786 I’ve finished all of the cosmere now, except for Mistborn Era 2, which I’m reading now :)

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

Thought you did a very nice job on this vid. Strong enthusiasm clearly there, yet never overpowers sound analysis. What more could a prospective reader, such as myself, ask for?

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks, glad you liked the review!

[@bookiemeow173]

I would love the summary video, I love anything about this book :)

[@bookemchristy4706]

I just finished way of kings like 20 min ago lol. Oh my God. I too didn't want it to end, but knew it had too. I just wanted to say you perfected the book review. I need to watch spoiler videos now. Book 2 is on it's way. Just 2 days and it will be here. I can't wait!

[@justme...000]

I love your videos especially your reviews...you're great.

[@libraryscentedlife5836]

I read this recently and it is my new favourite series! This review was great and let me stay in the book for a little extra time after reading it. Words of Radiance was EVEN BETTER and I'm scared to read Oathbringer then have to wait so long for the next one! The art and music in this video added to the review and overall this was so fun to watch! Great job, I'm so excited to hear your thoughts on the rest of the series :)

[@kinghailz786]

Ahh that's awesome girl! So I'm curious... would you agree with these top 5 characters? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ27kniFf7eFhbs

This is my first real foray into fantasy and I couldn't have picked a better book. Fast, easyish read that keeps you coming back for more.

[@entreterilendo]

this is the best review I ever watched

[@scorpiozxzx]

Yes PLEAAAAAAAASE summer for the books we need that

[@mazzewhiteley5401]

Wonderful summary of background and review

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks! :)

[@ivarkrabol]

Do the chapter-by-chapter thing! I would love it for the exact reason you mention

[@CapturedInWords]

Awesome, I'll definitely start working on it :)

[@Omnifelix]

You should do a video on the deep deep lore, like how you can use the insults, curses, and expletives characters use to trace what world they are originally from

[@J1Warrior84]

Started it 2 nights ago. About half way through now. Literally can't stop reading it. Thanks for making this video. When I watched it before it helped persuade me into buying the first 3 books. At the rate I'm going, I'm gonna need to grab that 4th book real soon. Sadly I'll have to wait for book 5 but Sanderson writes so fast!! Have a good one. And if anyone is on the fence try this book! Love every part of it. I'm a quick reader so the semi slow burn at first didn't effect me at all. Mainly because he writes in a way where I want to know more so I just keep going. Haha

[@weerwolfje99]

I love your reviews. This sounds so amazing... Thanks to your review of mistborn i bought the boxset so if i love mistborn, i feel this will be by next pick up.

[@_Conzo_]

Did you love Mistborn?

[@9Jov]

A good review, and a well made video. Props mate!

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks! 😀

[@xxmadamoisellexx]

you convinced me to read Mistborn and i adored the trilogy so much, gonna read this next! great review!! :)

[@kinghailz786]

I'm guessing you've finished them? If so, would you agree with these top 5 characters? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ27kniFf7eFhbs

[@carsongarrett7707]

I'm hooked. Love Brandon Sanderson

[@kinghailz786]

You read way of the kings? Would you agree with these top 5 characters?... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ27kniFf7eFhbs

[@FarawayPictures]

This sounds really good. I want to get into Sanderson a lot more, but you've got me stuck into Robert Jordan for the foreseeable future.

[@lee-yalliangarises617]

This book, if adapted, could be the next GoT, if not bigger than that. It is indeed a special book....and I appreciate this video

[@caseyspencer4705]

Well then... You talk me into it. Stopping by the book store today!

[@hibak8196]

Re-watching now that I'm about 40% into the book. I think I wouldn't have survived this long without this video and BookTube in general to encourage me lol But I am loving it so far :D

[@liza6162]

Great video!! I just subbed. Keep it up. This book is great!

[@DryBooks]

Yes, chapter by chapter PLZ! I suck at remembering details!

[@dalegilchrist-xu7qo]

nice book revue i didn`t know they did any art work on this series very nice i really want to reread this again

[@Kayessee]

I absolutely love this series. Read the first 3... Seth and kaladin are the best parts. I have to read those books, again... Read this one 7 times. Awesome.

[@kinghailz786]

Niiice! So would you agree with these top 5 characters? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ27kniFf7eFhbs

[@timothywinters2357]

I have the same problem. My backlog of books I've started but haven't finished is growing lol

[@antopolskiy]

Finishing up the Oathbringer, it feels really funny hearing about Kal and Shalan (not sure about the spelling, I have the audiobook) from the first book. Talking about character development -- it is another aspect that really shines in this series, at least so far.

[@CapturedInWords]

I can't wait to see how there characters grow even more, I just recently started Oathbringer and am loving it

[@wadejohnston4305]

Youve explained this series or at least the gist of it better than anyone here on youtube. (Yes even Mr. Greene as i found he rambled a bit bit the video is years old and hes much better now). But i almost get Beserker vibes with a "lone" soilder/warrior and the fairy sidekick but Guts isnt as honorable as our main character im told. I got the book on my kindle and i just picked up the physical copy from my libraey so thanks for giving me that push i needed. I think im actually insane because i just finished the first book in WOT and plan to continue that as well. Plus my library got a brand new edition of The gunslinger in so i HAD to pick that up too. Starting 3 universally reknowned series the same month? Yup ive lost it i think but hey were all a little crazy. Sorry bout the rambling there! Thanks again kind sir! Light bless you!

[@STEINYY]

Im gonna read this series!! Looks awesome. BTW When is the last book The Kingkiller Chronicle coming out? Some time next year?
