The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
I am 50% in and I am confused on the plot. Anyone that read it can help me out? Who is Kaladin fighting and why is the war being fought to begin with? And why does everything have to do with bridges? There has to be more to war than that

If you cannot be helpful, then don’t answer.

You came father than I did. I tried reading one Sanderson book, and I gave up on it after a few chapters. Superhero fantasy in a multiverse setting is not something I ever fancied, so I don't know why I even gave him a chance.

Since HLS has exited, I have a question...
I read the Mistborn series and enjoyed it. I was planning on reading more Sanderson. Can his other series be read as standalone series? I don't need/want to understand every nuance/reference to series interdependence. Thanks. And I think this is a great site. ![]() |

What one did you try? I tried Steelheart and did like it but the other are good.

The whole context and story doesn't come into full until the third book, IIRC. Kaladin himself isn't really fighting anyone in particular, he is a slave, and he tries to escape his miserable existence.
As to his life before slavery, and how it came about, is answered in The Way of Kings. Spoiler:
There is of course a lot more to the story. It is quite complex and like I said, most open threads don't come together until book 3. EDIT To be clear, I think Sirtel provided the correct answer, my answer isn't really that helpful in the overall context and HSL didn't have to be an ass about it. |
