However, this minor criticism is eclipsed by the sheer scope and detail of the story that Sanderson has created, making The Stormlight Archive one of the greatest series in fantasy. While The Way of Kings is a masterclass in world-building and storytelling, some readers might find some of the dialogue to be a bit stilted at times.

The learning curve is steep, but the pay-off is deeply satisfying. The Way of Kings is no different from Sanderson’s other works, with seemingly random sentences scattered throughout the book that mean nothing unless you know the context to which they apply.
