"The Way of Kings" is book one of my favorite series ever. There's only two books so far (third is in progress), but they are so awesome. The series is called "The Stormlight Archives." The author is Brandon Sanderson. I may be a bit of a fanboy.I am not familiar with any of these names. Is "The Way of Kings" in the "Stormlight Archives"?. Not familiar with "Jak and Daxter" either.
Thanks to this thread, looky what I found at a used bookstore on my way home today!
I don't see how any of the Jak games relate to "Way of Kings"
Also, hello everyone!
It's alive! - Where the heck have you been?
It's been a slow start, but I think last night got my hooked finally so I'll probably be reading every day now.So, any impressions of it so far? I have yet to recommend that book to someone and have them tell me it was disappointing. It's fantastic.

So far I like it a lot.
Once he starts to tell his story, andWhat part did you hit that got you hooked?
Once he starts to tell his story, andAlthough it may also just be me. I usually read a book here and there for a bit, then a few chapters in I start wanting to know what happens and I'm hooked.especially once the troupe is attacked.
I'm almost half way I think. I'm hooked. <3

I finished both Kingkiller books. So good. I love the adventure theme (small story lines instead of one big one). I didn't like the sex in the book.The Fae section kinda sucked, and I didn't like how Kvothe's relations are pretty much a teenage wet dream.
Wasn't Firefight a bit disappointing with length? I wanted more!
This is the case in many books,movies and gamesI keep getting the feeling that the world is actually shallow but they try to make it seem deep by continuously pulling out new names and history out of their ass with no prior reference.
Okay. I really couldn't agree more about theis this how it's done?scene. It's boring and long. Aside from that I think I love everything in the books. I can't wait for book 3. I have waited 2-3 years already.Fae
I am still crunching away on Eragon book 3. I have about 7 hours left on it. I keep getting the feeling that the world is actually shallow but they try to make it seem deep by continuously pulling out new names and history out of their ass with no prior reference. I may have high expectations after having read Tolkien and Rothfuss. The story is quite catching though.
It is LITERALLY Star Wars Episodes 4-6 in a Fantasy world. Young boy lives on farm with Uncle, Uncle dies from fire, Boy runs away with Wise Old Man. Wise Old Man gives him his Father's Sword. Boy joins the rebels, one of the big bad guys is his father, etc.
Halfway through Way of Kings now, and Sanderson is slowly earning my very deep
respect as a fantasy author of diversity. Sure some of the magic is similar, but there
is a reason for that. However, the world he's created here, which is so vastly different
from the Mistborn world, is so alien and strange, and yet at the same time it's thrilling
and not confusing. I also love the style of the telling: This fractional way of looking at
a story through the eyes of several different characters. Which in the beginning doesn't
have anything to do with each other, but as the story progress they slowly start
intertwining. I also love how I'm halfway through it now, and I'm not particularly wiser
toward what the overall plot of the story is.
Sure I know what everyone's "up to", but I still feel like there's something looming on
the horizon, so to speak.
It hurts to think that he has said he currently has about 10 books worth of content to go through, and here we are waiting on Book 3.
Do you know how true the audiobook is to the book? They dropped a lot of the more serious things in the film, I wonder if they did the same for the audiobook.
Just started reading the Mistborn
I read those when I was 10, 11, and 12. Seemed like that was the demographic the author was going for.I tried getting into the "Percy Jackson" book series.
Not even remotely my cup of tea, they make the greek gods look incredibly lackluster and the story is contrived to all hell.
