Fantastic book with only one major flaw

The Way of Kings is a worldbuilding masterpiece. Its characters are rich and internally complex, their stories are fascinating, and their motivations compelling (even when you disagree with them). The single exception to this is the Shallan arc.

This is not because Shallan is a bad character, but because she's a decent character surrounded by great ones, and because it takes too long for her arc to connect to the main story.

I highly, highly recommend reading this book, and most of this author's other works.

Review of 'The Way of Kings' on 'Goodreads'

I choose books in a wierd way. When I find lists of Best Books online, I'll open a tab for GoodReads and add each of those books to my "To Read" list. So, I had added this book a while ago. Then looking to switch from a non-fiction binge to fantasy, I started this audiobook a week ago, rather blindly, which is also typical. I don't look it up on Wikipedia until afterwards so that I don't shadow my opinions or expectations.

The first thing I noticed was that the readers of the audiobook was the same that did Wheel of Time. Considering how long it took to get through that epic, it was a wonderfully familiar pair of voices.

Now that I finished the book and looked it up... OMG, IT'S THAT BRANDON SANDERSON. No wonder I love it so. But AHHHH!!!!! There are only 2 books out of
