After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.

I don't know. This book is a typical Sanderson, more specifically an early Sanderson. Innovative magic system, which overall is rather insubstantial with its effect on the story. Easy read. But what annoys me a lot in most of Sanderson's book, and in particular his older books, is his schoolboy attempt at witty banter. My god, that can be annoying. Another thing I mention in almost all my reviews of his books is that they need tighter editing. They are way too long, so much boring filler stuff.

Well, after all that I am almost ashamed to say that I do enjoy the books, for the most part. Like I said, they are easy reads, entertaining despite the annoying parts. If you like Sanderson, this book will most likely entertain you as well.
