Way of Kings is one of the best fantasy books I've read in a long while. I don't normally start series with only 1 book out so far. but I just couldn't wait.

I've only read Warbreaker so far but I enjoyed it quite a bit and look forward to reading his other books as well.

and when he removes that #4 from the book listings, i will concede that the mistborn series is a trilogy. until then, however, it is not.



The author himself calls it a trilogy and you won't accept that.

lol.

Are you retarded?

currently on book 2 about 6 chapters in....so far I havn't really gotten into it.

but book 1 was a page turner...couldn't set it down.


Not 100% sold on his magic system, but it's got it's high points. I like the idea of the story centered around thieves and assassins rather than the A typical general+army+war.

So far it's been worth the money

And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

Dunes, you might enjoy David Chandler's "The Ancient Blades," trilogy. It's got magic and fantasy stuff, but it centers around a thief.
