Dalinar has struggled throughout all of these books, trying to remember a past that is too dark for him to remember. Dalinar is also a Highprince of Alethkar. ➽ Dalinar – This whole series truly starts when Dalinar’s brother, the King himself, is murdered in cold blood. These are some of the best and most fleshed out characters I’ve ever read. We mostly follow three main characters, even though these books have extremely large casts! Each of the characters you’ll be introduced to, you’ll easily love, or easily love to hate. And because this story surrounds wars on many different fronts, it makes sense that these Highstorms also help power some pretty powerful and unique weapons, armor, and even some magical companions. Highstorms provide Stormlight, which is an energy that the people keep in different gemstones, which have a super vast array of different uses. First off, unforgiving Highstorms are constantly happening around the world of Roshar. The Stormlight Archive world is unlike anything else in literature. They also have war waged on them for assassinating a king. The Parshendi, who live in the middle of the Shattered Plains, are being led by some ancient beings to gain more land and to free their enslaved relatives. There is a battle going on for all of Roshar. Alethkar is the largest kingdom on Roshar, and where most our main characters come from. Roshar is divided into ten mini/major kingdoms, that are self-governed. This is a huge scale, epic fantasy, that is massive not only in size, but in content. And I also think it is important to note that it is very important to read the novella, Edgedancer, before reading Oathbringer, too! I know I won’t say anything major, but please use caution, or maybe pass on my review, if you would like to start The Way of Kings completely blind.

I mean, these three books are massive, and this story is so heavy, I apologize in advance if I slip up. I am so sorry this review is a month late! With the holidays and the start of this new year, my life has just been a little hectic to write a review that does this amazing book and series justice! But hopefully this will sing even an ounce of the praise that this epic fantasy series deserves, because this third installment was nothing short of a masterpiece.Īlso, I’m going to try to write this review spoiler free, but I am very sorry if I accidentally say a little something that could perhaps be considered a spoiler.
