Sanderson ' s a great author , and the second book in the Stormlight Archive is my favorite story I ' ve ever read . That said , even Sanderson suggests that people start with something else by him , like his Mistborn books . This is mainly because the Way of Kings Stormlight Archive book 1 takes some very risky creative choices that may be off putting to people who do not already have a lot of trust in the author . One of which is that the book starts with 3 yes 3 prologues . If that doesn ' t bother you , then go right ahead , they are amazing stories , I just don ' t want you to put it down after 100 pages and never read something by this fantastic writer again . <| sep |> Last day of discount ?
