Trish’s comments from the Way Of Kings Read Along group.

A few people I know said that they thought the beginning of this book was slow and a little hard to get into. I personally don't agree. There is a lot of world-building and setup (which, DUH, this is a 10-book series), but I don't think it was boring by any means, just really interesting learning about this new world and the first magic system.

Although not much heavy action or strong things to move the plot along happens in the beginning -- as someone who is reading this a second time -- this buildup is important! So if you're feeling a little bored, like nothing is happening, hang in there. The pacing absolutely EXPLODES towards the middle of the book and onward.

Was anyone confused by Szeth's abilities? I know I was at first, but understood it more as I kept on reading. I'm interested to know people's thoughts on Kaladin and Dalinar, who are without a doubt, my two FAVORITE characters of this series. Their character development is just incredible as the book moves forward.

I want to hear other people's thoughts before I say more, it's hard for me to remember what you guys haven't read since I'm on book two and I DON'T want to spoil anything for anyone.

So how is everyone enjoying it so far?
