👍👍

Książka przyszła szybko i w idealnym stanie, lepszym niż nawet się spodziewałem!

no se si cuente esto como spoiler pero spoiler!!!! ok, si has leido mistborn trilogy, probablemente has encontrado los comentarios que dicen que este libro es muy bueno el mejor de todo los libros de fantasia y demas, y no lo niego, pero vamos primero al punto que quiero tomar. el libro esta muy bueno ( todavia no llego al climax de la historia pero enserio) no esperen un libro como mistborn que es facil de dijerir y facil de entender. the way of kings es demasiado "complejo" en terminos de el mundo, sociedades, religiones e incluso palabras si estas leyendo el libro en ingles... buena suerte ;3 la historia va muy lenta (que no es malo) y los personajes cada uno te lo representan demasiado bien que tienes miedo de que vaya a pasar con ellos. pero como lo vuelvo a mencionar, mistborn es demasiado facil de entender, pero es muy probable que cuando leas el libro The Way of Kings (sin importar el dialecto que lo leas) no entenderas nada, absolutamente nada de nada. y si, es normal, muuuy normal, mistborn te lo presentan con la protagonista(V) y el protagonista (K) y te describen los mundos ( si me permiten decirlo) como el mundo en que vivimos pero que sucede con the way of kings? es JOD*DO de AMADR*ES (osea que es dificil de entender) no solo te enseñan que pasa cada cierto tiempo, que pasa cuando utilizas una cosa que te ayuda (si lo has leido sabras que es), como se utiliza y cual es su efecto (recuerda a D) mistborn te enseña que todo tiene reglas y bases como diria K “Every action we take has consequences, V," pero TWoK te enseña que esto es si una historia del cual hablar. has sentido que sabes que pasara con las peliculas, series o inclusive musica, ese pensamiento de :"creo que ya se como acabara", con mistborn no lo lograras o no lo lograste (si ya lo has leido) con the way of kings sera como si estuvieras jugando ajedrez con un AI del primer mundo(osea windows 7 xd) tl;dr: deberias comprar The Way of King...... absolutamente si, si, si, si, si ojo, es mucho pero muuuuuucho "mundo para construir"(me refiero que tiene muchas cosas que tienes que enterarte para que puedas seguir la historia como los "chulls" o los "cremlings" o inclusive las groserias xd)

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I read. I am going to do my best to explain why this one made it into my favorites list which is not easy to do given the total number of books I've read. First, I will say that I am a relative newcomer to Sanderson's work. I read the Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set last year and Elantris earlier this year. I knew after just reading that first Mistborn book that Sanderson would be one of my must-read authors and by the end of that trilogy I had vowed to read everything he writes, even if it means traversing the entire Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan just to get to those final volumes by Sanderson. I had not actually intended on reading Way of Kings next, mostly because of the sheer size of it. Size, in and of itself, doesn't bother me and I've read numerous "doorstoppers" before. But they can sometimes seem too drawn out and slow moving and I was simply worried that the same might happen to my beloved Sanderson. But no, it was not to be. Sanderson has written the near perfect novel here. His world building, as incredible as always, is beyond my ability to describe adequately. While complicated, the cultural, religious, and political systems upon which the plot is developed makes sense and yet still does not divert the reader from where his/her attention should be focused: upon the plot and the characters. Same goes for the magic system that we get to explore with the characters, discovering its nuances at the same time as the characters. And speaking of characters, many other lengthy books or series in the fantasy genre that I've read suffer from too many characters, too many points-of-view. And there are a lot of characters here as well, but Sanderson chooses to focus on a select few so that we readers don't get bogged down, flipping back pages to try and remember who so-and-so is. And each of his focus characters is intriguing in their own ways. They have complex backgrounds and motivations and none of them are all good or all bad. They are real. And each time a new chapter opened and returned me to that particular character, I would instantly sink into their part of the story. And the plot. I won't rehash that here; I could never do it justice. Suffice it to say that all the elements of good story-telling are here: intrigue, peril, action, romance, noble honor, dastardly betrayal...I could go on and on. But to put it all together and make it soooo enjoyable requires the genius of Brandon Sanderson. Usually when I read a long work such as this, I churn through the final hundred pages or so to get that feeling of finally conquering that mountain of pages. But with this one I found myself stalling, not wanting it to end, despite its page length. As I write this I actually am feeling a little in withdrawal about the whole thing. And this is the beginning of what is reportedly a 10-book series? I don't know how I will wait until the next volume is out. I know this sounds like total fanboy gushing but reading this novel really did effect me more than 99% of the novels I read. And I'm the type of reader who likes most of what he reads. So if you haven't discovered Sanderson yet, I suggest you still start out with Mistborn: The Final Empire and work your way through from there. For me, I still have several of his other books that I still get to enjoy and by then, hopefully, Book 2 of this series will be ready. Highest possible recommendation!

Received my package a lot sooner than a thought. Extremely happy and exactly what i wanted.
