Fascinating Premise Within an Excellent Story
- By Kurt Schwoppe on 07-30-17
Publisher's Summary
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 be collected only one unit at a time from individual people.
By using breath and drawing upon the colour 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.

A bit more positive than Sanderson's usual works
This book is amazing. It has all the good qualities of Sanderson's books, but the tone is more positive than usually. Sanderson seems to like plot line where things start bad, are stable for a while, things go bad, things go really bad, despair settles in, all hope is lost, a miracle happens. This book contains all those but the tone is bit more positive, so the reader feels less despair.
This is a story of finding one's self. Of magical worlds and wonders. If you liked Sanderson's other works you will love this one too. The story takes place in the cosmere and if you read the stormlight archives like the oathbringer, you will find lot of inside references.
The book is surprising, the plot twists are really good. The characters are well developed and the world building is substantial. Narration is immaculate and easily likable. Every fan of high fantasy should read this. Buy it now, you won't be disappointed.

Painfully slow to get going but worth persevering
First time with this author and he has some great ideas and creates a convincing story once he gets over the tedious character development. Endless repetition of simple ideas insult the readers intelligence and it takes forever for the brakes to come off and to finally get going. Even then the author cannot resist reminding you (for the 20th time) that this person is the lazy one, that character is the reckless one who dislikes authority in case you forgot from 5 minutes ago.
I hate leaving books unfinished but 8 hours in I was seriously considering quitting but I'm glad I saw this one through. There are some genuinely original ideas here and the story twists and turns to a satisfying conclusion, all be it to set the stage for a sequel to tie up loose ends.
I will try another from Brandon Sanderson, but please get this guy an editor. The first 6 - 8 hours flow like treacle and yet the conclusion in the last couple of hours seems hasty and rushed and leaves a few plot strands hanging.
Narrator was only OK. Clear diction but a slightly lifeless performance, improved by listening at 1.3 speed.

Missing its impact
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I came into this book hoping for a classic Brandon Sanderson book and I got what I expected from the story, it's well written and the magic systems are always brilliantly thought out. It's definitely worth listening to once.
How could the performance have been better?
The narration is my biggest gripe with the book and it's one of the things I really hoped to be a nice change. Initially, it was lovely to hear Alyssa Bresnahan narrate but as time went on I started to notice her lack of impact on major parts of the story. The storm light series read by Micheal and Kate always hit the nail on the head, building up the story with amazing narration and I just didn't get the same quality of narration from Alyssa.

The Narrator spoilt it for me
By the 5th chapter I was still unconvinced if I could continue listening to the end. The over emphasis of every other word was draining to listen to and an unecessary distraction because the story unravelled beautifully. I had been spoilt by Michael Kramer narrating the Mist Born Series and this narrator was a total disappointmnt for me. I love Brandon Sanderson's literary style but wont listen to any more by this narrator.

This was a very enjoyable book about someone who had died and discovered that he had been deified.
Intentional funny but gripping noene the less.

Overall a good book
Good book with interesting characters and catching story. The story is full of twists and surprises, although the ending is a bit anticlimactic. The narrator's voice is a bit nasally and takes some time getting used to.

Excellent reader, excellent story
This book exemplifies the many reasons I love Sanderson. His deft and almost effortless characterisation of strong and diverse female characters, his story telling ability, his humour. The book is a mystery novel wrapped in a fantasy, set in a vivid, bright, dynamic environment. In addition, Alyssa Bresnahan brings it to life in the best of ways.
Highly recommend, especially for those who loved Elantris.

Fantastic Story, Limited voices
Loved the story Sanderson really knows how to write a great tale, the narration was well done but the range of voices was limited to ~3 different voices.

Good story, but not as good as his others
Brandon is one of my favourite authors and I thoroughly enjoy his books. This book has a unique and interesting magic system, as always with a Sanderson novel, but I felt this story lacked a little ‘something’. Still well worth a read though. Some of the characters went on an interesting journey and there are a few twists and turns to keep things interesting.

A far cry from Mistborn
I read this after reading Wheel of Time, Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive which, to be fair, are a hard act to follow. If you're a fan of the Tide Lords series by Jennifer Fallon, you might enjoy this. Regrettably the narrator has a very limited range, and the conclusion of the story left me scratching my head. This audio book was a slog, but I understand that it's ten years old and he's written some absolute gold since this.

if you're desperate for cosmere give it a go.
if you loved mistborn and stormlight archive and a craving for more cosmere give it a read, otherwise read Skyward. its another Brando Sando just a better read.

Loved the unraveling mystery
I loved the unraveling mystery and that it is not your standard hero story. It kept me guessing to the end and I enjoyed the new world.

Sanderson’s world building genius on display yet again
It’s hard to put into words how the reader becomes so emersed in Sanderson’s intricately created world. How he breathes such life into characters that they take form in the readers mind as if known to you.
I would read any Sanderson book for this alone and so did not mind that the pace is slower for much of the book, but then it really takes off....

Brandon Sanderson does it again 😁
Brandon Sanderson continues to put out great books, and Alyssa Bresnahan's performance brings the characters to life. A very interesting and enjoyable experience.

struggled
I listened to the first few chapters a couple of times but finally gave up. I know other books by the same author are slow to rev ... this one didn't get beyond neutral.
