Quote from ghostofdavid : This book by the same author is also $2.99. Legion - Brian Sanderson http://www.amazon.com/Legion-Bran...23&sr=1-17

keep in mind that is only a short story at 88 pages

This is a truly spectacular book - one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, fantasy novel of all time.

Legion is not really a deal - that's the retail price since it's a novella.

Quote from decoys : The Way of Kings is up there with Name of The Wind as my top favorite fantasy novel books.

My friend just handed me Name of the Wind last week and told me I would like it, but I haven't started it yet. Your comment convinced me to get this too though haha (as well as get started on Name of the Wind tonight!)

That book is really really good, I couldn't put it down. The second one wasn't as good as the first but still pretty decent. Can't wait for the third

Quote from xsoulbrothax : Was a good read! It is indeed epic, and everybody that likes fantasy can give it a shot at $3.

I agree..

just to keep it alive and bump. Way of Kings is epic. Probably will get a series one day, like GoT, as long as he introduces more sex and keeps up with the violence.

Why?

His magic is in gemstones, and it's very well written. Dune got its own, after all, and it's magic system isn't nearly as neat.

I read this book, it's awesome! Can't highly recommend it. I can't wait for the next one.

The magic system is unique and different from other fantasy books i've read. A fresh taste imho.

I'll second everyones comments. The Name of the Wind is by far my favorite book/series, but The Way of Kings is easily my second favorite I've read. I've enjoyed all of Sanderson's work and would easily recommend any of them even having not read a couple. But this one I have and it's fantastic.

Quote from KITHPOM : Talked me into it. Picked up the mistborn trilogy paperback while I was at it.

Mistborn was pretty good, one of my favorites.

Score. Had the hardcover and never read it yet. Sold the HC on Amazon for $16.50 and bought this. I prefer eBooks now, that book was massive and + 9 more in the series would take up 1-2 shelves on the bookcase.

For the folks like me not impressed by the Wheel of Time (I think it's terrible) - don't get scared off. Sanderson is pretty good.

Just read Elantris and the Mistborn books last year. He's a bit more of an exciting / story writer more than a character-driven writer - despite this his characterizations are good. Mistborn, to me, reads like watching a CLAMP anime - with characters jumping through the air, fighting, and doing fantastic/crazy things. I hadn't gotten around to reading this one though.

I disagree on best modern fantasy writer BTW. IMO that's Robin Hobb (aka Megan Lindholm), as I'm a huge fan. GRR Martin is at #2 for me (assuming that he actually finishes Ice & Fire).

I'll pick this up for $2.99 from B&N since there's no DRM (I almost never buy DRM'd ebooks). Tor has gotten smart with this.

Thanks OP, great deal.

Wow I completely agree on those two points. I tried reading the first wheel of time book and was bored out of my mind. And I LOVE Robin Hobb, but her newest series has been meh and the price too damn much. I mean $12.74 for a KINDLE edition? Never.

I am now looking into the Mist Born Series. I like waiting until there are 2-3 books done before I start. I like reading series in chunks or all together.

Robin Hobb is one of Brandon Sanderson's favorite authors too so you are in good company!

I've started reading one of her books so I can't comment on where she ranks in my favorite authors list but I'm looking forward to reading her books too once I finish what I'm reading now.

Friday today so here is today's free Friday book from B&N
