If you enjoy the books, Try the Malazan series and The Name of the Wind next.


The Name of the Wind is annoying with an annoying brat as the main character. The Way of Kings is much more enjoyable.


WoK was pretty awesome, although it dragged a lot and suffered from the immaculate, caste characters syndrome and black and white morality. It's way better than anything Patrick Rothfuss will ever deliver.

I didnt mind that, as I found the setting to be really unique and imaginative.

Yeah, very true. It has the potential to be the best one in pure fantasy so far, if Sanderson handles it right. That's what the genre needs I think - let's focus beyond our big egos for once and have less of pure human drama using magic as a backdrop and more of culture, ecology geography and societies that actually work

Yes. Wheel of Time started great, but at about book 6 or 7 I stopped as it became a slow, tangled mess.
