The Way of Kings | GUSH

[@angelaciani2110]

i don't want to spoil anything and even with Oathbringer there's so many questions that need answers, but: everything that Brandon writes has a purpose... i think it's great how Brandon talks about religion with him beeing mormon and i think not enough ppl talk about how mental health is a big part of the series!!! Jashna is so badass!!! Hoid is my boi... he's litterly the best!!!

[@redforrori]

Sanderson is Mormon? I didn't know, but finally, a reason to give up reading his books! *whew*

[@marielzanibegona460]

Words of Radiance is top notch! And the easter eggs with his other Cosmere works are just 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@gabrieltoscano8480]

I have a feeling Words of Radiance will be a book you will absolutely love (and read a lot faster as well). Don't worry, I'm entirely caught up with the Cosmere and I have a lot of questions. That's part of the fun in reading SA as the books are still being released. I get to read theories and predictions and in the end only Sanderson knows everything. I'm curious on how you will see each character after the next books, because I think they evolve and change and we learn a lot about them that they feel so alive and real. This is my favourite series and I'm excited you liked the first one

[@lenamontgomery2542]

The channel Captured in Words has a really good summary of this book. It was nice to watch after finishing and it is great to review prior to starting Words of Radience. (Also, the audiobooks for this series is awesome) I did a Sanderson deep dive last year and read 13 of his books. I loved them all, but SA is just...so much.

[@khg8]

I’m so thrilled you at getting into this series IT’S MY FAVORITE!!!

[@jenniferhicks1711]

Love The Way Of Kings but Words of Radiance I read that book over a year ago and I STILL think about it.... awesome book!!! Awesome series can't wait till the 4th one comes out 😁😁😁

[@Shaegeeksout]

I'm so glad you are starting this series! The one thing I will say is that it will benefit you to not wait too long before you dive into Words of Radiance, as the fine details will be easier to remember. Hoid is present in every corner novel. Not always by name, but he is present in each. Look for the one information giver, and it is usually him. And I agree, Hoid is a DELICIOUS SNACC!!!

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

Shaegeeksout I plan to read WoR as soon as possible after my TBR is down

[@Doomslug]

I binged all the books in the series, and Words of Radiance is my favorite so far (Shallan's arc was so good). I loved the Spren, and I think you'll like them more in the future! Also, don't hesitate to read Edgedancer before Oathbringer, it will make more sense. I need to finish Mistborn and Brandon's other books 😁

[@grayde3903]

I love your book talks about a specific book, possibly my favorite videos of yours!

[@kimkosyjana9511]

I've been waiting for this gush! And yeah so many cosmere Easter eggs in this series. I can't wait for you to read book 2! It was my favorite of the 3!

[@d.l.rownan3394]

I read the books then got a second "read" via audiobook. They are really well done and bring a lot of light to things.

[@brittanyrees9134]

I’m so excited you’re finally diving in! I can’t wait to see what you think of the other books. What were your thoughts on Szeth?

[@ohlookakitty911]

Hi, love that you're getting into this series. It's one of my favorites and I like seeing others fall in love with it as well. Suggestion -> the audiobooks are great so you should give them a try, maybe it makes going through them faster(plus there are some scenes that are just amazing read out loud.)

[@dystractshun]

Any plans to continue with Stormlight? I can't wait to hear your thoughts

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

yes! it's just hard to decide when to read an 1000+ page book lol

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

No spoilers- I'm halfway through book 2 and its WILD

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

If you do reread I highly recommend the audiobooks

[@Sophie703]

Kayla M I agree! The narrators are so good! 😊

[@chrisisbookinit]

UGH THE CRAB TORTURE I HATE. Shallan took some getting uses to for me but by the end I liked her. Jasnah and Navani might be the loves of my life though.

[@ramidib7322]

I want to reread the series soo bad, but combined they're like 3500+ 🥺🥺🥺

[@kristinhershey1903]

Rami Dib the audiobooks are really well done, might be a good option!

[@ramidib7322]

@@kristinhershey1903 I've never tried audio book, but honestly it's due time. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@arcticsprendogs4311]

Yes!! Kaladin totally reminded me of Kelsier too! ❤︎

[@TheWordN3rd]

I keep meaning to reread this book before I continue on w the series. It's been years since I picked it up. Which reminds me, I need to read Elantris this month.

[@williamvesey3679]

"Oh, that thing was this!" should be the motto of the Sanderson Fan Club.

[@clairemeehan4141]

I think you'll really enjoy Words of Radiance when you get around to it. However I can honestly say that I struggled with the first two thirds of Oathbringer and worried I would DNF, but the last third suddenly sped up and was just brilliant (so if you do struggle at the start, push on through because it's well worth it).

[@BrightnessKatyReads]

I'm so happy you read this! Stormlight is my all time fave series!! And some characters from warbreaker might pop up in WoR/Oathbringer. And I love all your theories :) And you get Shallan's flashbacks in WoR which are WILD haha Also the love for Jasnah

[@chickwit2575]

I read this books years ago when it first came out. The problem with tomes and epic 10 book long series is that once you get off the carousel of one book, the wait for the next book can diminish the desire to get on the carousel again. Hopefully, will start again. I'll re read way of kings and then plunge into oathbringer. P. S. I re read way of kings twice. I regret nothing.

[@malloreyrogers7987]

Words of Radiance I read SIGNIFICANTLY quicker it is a lot more fast paced and just top notch 👏🏻

[@katieamarsh]

I’ve reread them each time a new book was coming out. I’m doing so now to get ready for book 4. They’re so good. Sanderson has said that when he writes a character and their religion, he wants the reader to assume his religion is that of the character. He wants you to assume he’s an atheist if he’s writing an atheist. I think that’s amazing considering that he’s mormon. You’re going to love the next book

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

oh that's so interesting with how he writes religion!

[@brightskysyl3913]

Yes! Spren is a MAJOR MAJOR thing in Rhythm of War (Book 4).

[@TheBookishMom]

I still need to pick up Elantris and Warbreaker. I loved Way of Kings and I can't wait to read the other books to catch up before Rhythm of War comes out. The Spren seemed strange and annoying to me at first as well. Kaladin is great, and I agree with you on the similarities with Kelsier, and I love them both!

[@MissMokate]

I definitely agree on the crab scene. I'm used to violent/gruesome death (edit: and torture) of innocents in books and media, but torturing animals is just a hard no for me and I just hope it won't be much of a thing in the next book(s)

[@ReadandFindOut]

Jasnah is THE BEST. I'm really pleased with how Sanderson works with her as a character, because I think he could have handled her differently with his religious beliefs.

[@bradleypeterson2322]

I predict Dalinar will become your favorite character once you finish Oathbringer. You're in for a treat!

[@MissMokate]

aaaaaaaaaa I need to finish the book ASAP to watch this! edit: I just finished and IT WAS SO GOOD.

[@Tylertized]

I agree that the first book was pretty repetitive for the first half, but this series became my favorite series after reading books 2 and 3 so I'm really interested to see how you respond to those!!

[@kristinhershey1903]

No spoilers, Words of Radiance is EVEN BETTER! I know they’re thicc boys but they read super quick. I don’t doubt you’ll get through all 3 before November!!

[@kimkosyjana9511]

Hoid! And when I first read this series, I had no idea wit was hoid. It wasn't until I read oathbringer that I finally realized 😂

[@fateharazak8459]

Was hoid in mistborn? I don't remember. Can someone explain to me.

[@brittanyrees9134]

Fateha Razak Yes, if I remember correctly, he’s a thief or some sort of criminal that gives information to Kelsier.

[@SorryIcantIhavebookclub]

Damn I am still hesitant about this one... It is just so daunting 😣...

[@d.l.rownan3394]

Its wroth it. If your not sure the audiobooks are also very good!

[@IbbyMelbourne]

Words of Radiance is great! I felt like it had the best pacing of all three books so far. Oathbringer's pacing is the worst of the three books, but it has some of the best moments in the series!

[@jickeez0704]

REVIEW WORDS OF RADIANCE!!! ❤️

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

Wait what did I miss this hoyd character who is this

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

WAIT HES WIT WHAT

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

I've never noticed his character before! I've only read first gen mistborn and book 1 and half of book 2 of stormlight

[@kimkosyjana9511]

Hoid pops up all over Cosmere series. Sometimes"disguised" as other characters. He was in Mistborn as well! My favorite thing about Cosmere books now is playing "Where's Hoid" 😂 but I had no idea about Hoid when I read this series because Stormlight was my intro to the Cosmere!

[@fourthofthesky]

I'm sorry to do this to you but Jasnah is pronounced Yasnah : |

[@redforrori]

Ugh. I am like 30ish % of the way through this book--and I'm so bored with it so far :(
