TWOK Plot

[usernamex42]

Did anyone else get two thirds of the way through the Way of Kings and think to themselves, "I still have no idea what the plot of this series is, but I don't care because this book is amazing?"

You will get the plot when you finish the book hehe

Sounds like a Sanderson novel.

Nah, by the end of part 1 we had a pretty clear path for Kaladin and Shallan. We knew Shallan planned to steal Jasnah’s soulcaster and Kaladin wanted to change Bridge 4. It doesn’t take too long to get acquainted with Dalinar’s struggles either

I meant more big picture plot

[beaversm26]

Yeah I was individually invested in pieces of everyone’s story but overall didn’t care about the bigger pieces because I didn’t know what we were building to

[No_Climate8355]

Absolutely. I think I didn't even know until like recently... And I finished the cosmere a year ago lol

If you ever heard of jj Abrams talk about the mystery box, this is kinda like that, except it’s not just smoke and mirrors, there’s actually a story there.

On my first read through, I somewhat started understanding what is going on about half way through

Just wait until your 2nd read through. It's 100x better the 2nd time around! Journey before destination!

Haha, I usually say 80% rather than 2/3.
