And of course we have political unrest, which is the constant of all fantasy epics. There are also some cool MacGuffin items such as shard blades, (which is basically a lightsaber but looks like a regular sword), with a shard plate which can protect against shard blades. We got surgebinding (which is basically just gravity manipulation I won’t get into that much detail). It’s introduced in the prologue where we immediately jump into the assassination of a certain powerful political figure (see I’m being vague on purpose so as to not spoil anything, take notes people).ĭuring this assassination, we get a look into multiple different details about the universe. Personally I enjoyed the hard magic system of this epic. If you’re familiar with Sanderson’s work, you know he can get pretty extensive with his magic systems. Throughout the novel, there are strengths and weaknesses along with the overall enjoyment factor of this book. Published in 2010, it is the first book in the 10 book long Stormlight Archive fantasy series. “ The Way of Kings“ is a high fantasy novel written by Brandon Sanderson (or as I like to call him, Brando Sando).
