All those are in peak form in his masterwork, The Way of Kings."--Paste Magazine, "The 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far)" "Absolutely revels in its fantasy world, one of actual gods, bizarre magic, knights with superpowers, spirits and sorcery, monsters, demons, and magic sword[s] called Shardblades. It embraces the fantastic, and does so with an astonishing amount of creativity . . . Words of Radiance is a must-read."--io9 on Words of Radiance "Excellent . . . cranks up the level of intrigue to dizzying extremes...Sanderson's experiment is working, and he gets better with every book. The journey will be worth it. Yes, you should buy this book. Yes, this is a series worth following to the end."--Reactor on Words of Radiance
