Mistborn: The Final Empire
Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson: overthrowing the Lord Ruler is not an afternoon errand
Ash falls from the sky, the Lord Ruler has held power for a thousand years and a crew of rebels wants to bring him down. Kelsier calls it a plan. I call it a project that could use a contingency plan, a second contingency plan and maybe an adult in the room.

The Way of Kings
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson: a thousand pages, several problems and one back to carry them all
Roshar is not wallpaper behind the characters. Its storms, politics and rules decide what people can do, and that is only the start of the commitment. Brandon Sanderson opens The Stormlight Archive with a world, a war and enough pages to make your shoulder ask whether this fantasy book comes with a physiotherapist.
