The Way of Kings is a very long epic fantasy novel that kicks of a 10-book series, within a 36-book set of novels set in the same universe. Many of the main characters aren't particularly out of the ordinary for epic fantasy, but they are still easy to like and fun to follow. My personal favorite main character is the conflicted minor noblewoman on the edge of ruin, Shallan, who I hope to see more of in the coming novels. The world of Roshar is imagined with an impressive amount of detail, and I feel sure that even after over 1000 pages, there are still many secrets that are left to be discovered. I felt that the novel was longer than it probably needed to be, and several of the plots seemed to drag at times. However, the conclusion was very exciting, and has left me looking forward to see what will happen in the next volume!
