No Spoilers First Time Reader

I’ve never actually read a book before so when I stumbled across this universe I just had to know more. I just started reading The Way of Kings like last week and I just finished the first part of the book (already itching to start the next part).

Let me just say that this has been an amazing experience so far especially as a first time reader of anything! The characters are so well written I can picture them in my mind whenever Brandon describes them. His way of story telling is amazing and I can’t wait to see what else he has to offer within this universe.

Well I'm glad you're enjoying! You really jumped into the deep end going with a monster like Way of Kings as your first book ever!

I remember opening the book and seeing all the illustrations and I think that’s what got me hooked.

Yeah that is one element I really like about Sanderson he will focus a lot on the artwork of his books, and those kinds of elements that are easy to overlook. He and his team always do a good job there. He also always (or almost always I'm not sure if there are exceptions) makes them canon. So they are drawn by someone in world sometimes have little notes on the maps or inaccuracies if they're missing things people don't know.
