When Authors Play Too Many Video Games (The Way of Kings - Part 1)

We embark on The Way of Kings, the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s magnum opus series, The Stormlight Archive.

This book dares to explore such important questions as “what if someone who was good at fighting also had depression?” and “what if big swords but no blood?”

Content warnings: discussion of depression, mentions of suicide
