    what do you mean Larran just carried a fish in one of his pockets?

    also Kiela’s talk with Caz about being unlikable, i’m starting to identify with her a little too much for my liking 😭

    A bite straight out of a tomato? Criminal. I think we know the author's favorite food. šŸ…

    Does anyone else find Kiela a little annoying? šŸ˜… The way she's treating Larran feels a bit too heavy handed. And as for the spell books...omg if she talks about how bad it would be to use them, or how much trouble she'd be in, or how she needs them to be secret ONE MORE TIME.... Like I get it; It'd be bad. Does it need repeating every other paragraph?

    This was not for me. Well written prose, but I found all the characters unlikable and the plot quite boring.

    So, when I first picked up Way of Kings, the only context I had was that it was more interconnected to the extended Cosmere than Mistborn, and there was a character who could travel between planets...so I assumed it was some sort of scifi space opera. While I was wrong about that for Stormlight Archive, I think this book almost fits the bill. This book leaned a little more scifi, which is not always my taste. This was not my favorite, but I appreciated the interconnectivity to the Cosmere. I look forward to finishing up the rest of the Cosmere for some context on how we got here to this book; maybe I'll enjoy this more in hindsight.
