Brandon Sanderson came out of nowhere for me with a book called Warbreaker, which I loved. And then I was luke warm on Elantris. And then The Way of Kings came out and I had to have it. It took me awhile, but I got through the 1000 pages and loved every minute of it. There are 3 main story lines with a few other lesser story lines woven throughout. Usually, I hate when a book goes to alternate characters...but not with this one. I wanted to read about each of the main characters and in the end, I have a difficult time naming which one is my favorite. Ultimately, it's about a Slave, A High Prince and a wanna-be theif, but those titles do no justice to any of the storylines. Kaladin, the Slave, is the son of a healer and was trained in the healing arts. But had a desire to be a warrior. His skills, however, weren't enough in some key situations and ultimately he was made a slave and put on a Slave team where the life expectancy was very low. His story is how he helped turn that around and how he learned aout why he was special. Dalinar, the High Prince, is the brother to a slain king. He is the Blackthorn, a war hero who wears shardplate and wields a Shardblade. There are many other High Princes, but he is the only one who follows the Code as laid down in the Way of Kings. But does he really understand the code?? And can he trust everyone around him?? Shallon, the thief, isn't really a thief. She's an artist and a devoted sister. Her family has financial troubles and they think the only way out is to steal a magical device called a fabrial from a famous scholar. But as Shallon gets herself hired on as a student of the scholar, she begins to understand much more about the world and herself. I've told you a little about these characters and yet I've told you nothing. Read the book! I don't want to give you any spoilers. The world is very unique and strange. It is the backdrop for which this awesome story unfolds.

If the blurb for this book had been different, I might have enjoyed it more. Instead, it made me expect something the book was not particularly interested in delivering. "Thirty years ago, five toddlers were found alone in a luxury boat...after a devastating hurricane. No one knew who they were or where they came from." One of them gets cancer which triggers flashbacks of before they were found and he wants to figure out where they came from, so he gets them all together at his ex-girlfriend's house to figure it out. Now, from that information, I expected for the book to be a description of their investigation, with clues revealed along the way that prompt some kind of emotional catharsis. Instead, the narrative mainly focuses on David's diagnosis with cancer, his lame attempts to get his ex-girlfriend back, and everyone's messed-up intimacy issues. No real revelations come until the last 80 pages of the 369-page book; however, and it is only then that the book starts to get interesting. It isn't nearly compelling enough to make up for the time I spent slogging through the first three quarters, but I did read that last part in one sitting, and way, way past my bedtime as well. If you are a fan of emotional drama and family interactions, you might enjoy the whole thing, but if you are more interested in the mystery of the abandoned children, read the prologue and then skip to Part III. One other note: The book is written in the first person when told from David's perspective, but third person omniscient when focusing on anyone else. From a few of the errors in this ARC, I think the author had originally written the entire thing first person, but alternated narrators. The switching back and forth was probably too jarring, and it was a good call to switch to third, but I could also have done without David's inner musings as well. It doesn't make him any more of a sympathetic character and it's still pretty jarring.
