Just about to start The Way of Kings - questions - trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 13/09/2011 10:28:03 PM
Will be jumping into Sanderson's new epic series in a few weeks after some business travel. Just wondering the following, for those that read book 1, not looking for spoilers, but some context/opinions:

How did you like it?
What were the goods and bads of the book?
How is it's format? (typical hero/quest epic, something different)
What's unique about it.....i.e., what is the Sanderson spin?
After the end of book 1, do you know where the rest of the series is heading?
How does it compare to book 1 of other beloved epic series?
Are you eager to read book 2?

Thanks!
