By using "breath" and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

hat Warbreaker von Brandon Sanderson besprochen

Took my breath away (😉)

Although the magic system is a bit less formal and more opened to interpretation than the hard magic system of Mistborn (as in, the quality of breaths, commands…), Warbreaker was a fantastic story and one that presented some very interesting characters dynamics and concepts. I particularly liked the concept of the returned and the Court of Gods, each with their own priests, colors, etc. I would love to see this particular world expand into a follow up novel, as the epilogue clearly sets the bases for a sequel.

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.
