I give this book my highest recommendation and think The Way of Kings will be one of those landmark novels of Epic Fantasy against which future novels will always be measured.

Coming into Wolf's Cross, the bar was set relatively high and I'm pleased to say Mr. Swann met the bar.

Although the thriller motif Banks used in the novel made for, at times, a more immediately accessible novel, I found it to be less compelling than Consider Phlebas and not quite as even a novel, on the whole.

While the world is constructed very well, the plot seemed a bit uneven throughout the novel.

...Tregillis takes some familiar things -- World War II, Metahumans (a.k.a super heroes/super villains), spy fiction, dark magic, secret societies, horror, Science Fiction -- and weaves a damned entertaining novel.

Though in concept, one of the conceits revealed in this novel can be considered a bit cliché, it is the process through which this conceit comes to light in the characters eyes that makes the novel so great and enjoyable.

This Archonate world is a fun place to visit through Hughes's stories, thanks to his exceptional wit, character, and dialogue.

...a notch above standard fantasy fare with a nicely developed magic system but occasionally, Charlton relies too much on prophecy to keep the momentum of the story going.
