    Enjoyment: 2.5Quality: 3.5Characters: 3.0Plot: 2.0

    This must be my least favourite Brandon Sanderson book. It took a lot of effort to finish. The first half of Warbreaker is slow, this would not be a problem if either I liked a bit more the characters or the plot started to pick up once passed the midway point. However, this last characteristic does not happen until the last few chapters of the book. By that point, I was so bored I just wanted the book to end. One of the things I can say I liked from this book is Vivenna and Vasher. At the beginning Vivenna did not convince me as a character. I thought she was a bit of a stuck-up. However, as the book continued and Vivenna faces different challenges, her tenacity and bravery made her my favourite character of the book. I really like how her prejudices get challenged time after time and how quickly she must learn to survive. Furthermore, I think Vasher is a good character to pair up with Vivenna. Not only does he challenge Vivenna’s prejudices but just his presence and actions further push Vivenna to reevaluate what she truly believes on. One of the biggest disappointments of this book must be Siri’s storyline. I think she was such a wasted character and would have liked seeing more of her given her position in the palace. Her character development is so small and has such a little impact in the overall plot of the book that is not even worth having her as a narrator. I am sad to say that her chapters were the most boring ones. She was my favourite character at the beginning and thought she had great potential. One of the things I did not like about this book is the love story. It is underdeveloped and does not add anything to the plot of the book. As this is the focus of Siri’s chapters it makes Siri’s story weak and boring especially compared with the other two main narrators, Vivenna and Lightbringer. If Siri’s chapters were erased, I do not think much of the story would be missed. In fact, I would say, the final act and revelations would have had more of a punch if the romantic relationship had not been disclosed until the end. Overall, this book is just boring. Unlike other slow books from Sander such as Well of Ascension, I felt all the individual 600 pages of Warbreaker. The magic system and some of the themes brought up throughout the book are interesting but not enough to keep me engaged. The final act is rushed and for such a long book there was time to take it with patience and give a longer ending. Although it was not my favourite, I’m glad I met Vivenna and Vahser I hope we can see them in other Sanderson books.
