Fantasies are awesome to listen and watch as movies but they are the most difficult ones to write because the things that the story discusses don’t exist. Author has to imagine the entire scenario first and then he has the tough job of making the people realize that the world exists. Strong words are needed to capture the attention of the audience and make them delve deeper into the tale. If any author fails in this thing then his creation also fails in a big way. Brandon Sanderson is one of those geniuses who never present a weak story in front of the fans.
This one was a real challenge for the author because his previous creations were a hit in the public. Fans were expecting a stupendous performance from him once again and without any doubt, he has brought out of his brain the best. Just stop praising The Way of Kings and The Well of Ascension for a moment and give this story full time to penetrate your mind. This is about two sisters whose fate has made them princesses.
Now one of them has to marry the God-King, all of this is not very simple because the world in which they are living in is complex. Their land is full of powers and anyone who dies during a fight or anything special can, later on, emerge as a god.
Alyssa Bresnahan narrates all of the powers of the land joyously because the powers are just amazing. One of the magic is linked to an essence known as the breath which is hard to collect but whoever has complete hold on the essence can rule the world with it.
