Three characters -- a soldier, a scholar, and a thief -- converge on an ancient mystery that could change their world forever.
About This Book
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want momentum: big setpieces, high stakes, and a story that never stops moving. This is a book that asks something of you. Dense, layered, and best read slowly. It takes its time, and that's the point. Patience is rewarded. If you prefer quiet, character-driven fiction, the relentless pace may tire.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something action-packed and adventurous, and a read that's slow and deeply immersive.
What It Explores
The Way of Kings explores survival and what extreme circumstances ask of people, war and its costs — both during and long after, and identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be.
