Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
I started reading B.Sanderson’s books with “Elantris”. I loved the world building, politics, religion, characters, but I needed some determination in order to keep reading the book, to make a reading progress. It’s amazing to see how much B.S. has developed as a writer, it seems with every book he’s getting better and better. As always, there are a lot different ideas creatively meshed into the story, but here it’s more refined.
Two very different sisters, each going differently about life (I sympathized with Siri more, but I appreciated Vivenna’s growth as well), a God who doesn’t believe he is one, a God King, politics, religion and interesting plot with twists. This story has it all. Romance is just a subplot, and I wouldn’t call it fantasy romance (even in YA category).
I simply loved the magic system. Colors, breaths, oh that was very nice. In Prologue B.S. sets a story promise and woos us with this magic system, and he delivers. The world building is sufficient and characters are very well done. The pacing is very much B.S. , slow build up, getting to know the characters, world, magic system, getting invested, things start to simmer more and more, plot lines connect with a culmination in the end.
The story was wrapped up nicely in the end, but there is a foundation for upcoming book in the series. I hope he’s going to write it, I would definitely read it.
