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.

Captivating story by Brandon Sanderson and magical narration by Alyssa Bresnahan. It was my first audio book as well as my first book by Brandon. Loved it way too much.

Captivating

Disclaimer, I read the Mistborn series before going through Warbreaker. Definitely a weaker story, but then it's improper to compare a it with an amazing trilogy like Mistborn. Takes a bit of a time to get going, and only picks up pace at the end. The narration is exceptional though! Fantastic reading by Alyssa!

Okayish considering it's Brandon Sanderson book!

The cast of characters gets an A+. Especially loved Lightsong and also Denth. The story is about avoiding war, so lot of politics and very less action which I seemed to really enjoy.

I barely could keep the book down in the latter half. I would highly recommend this.

A great standalone book set in Cosmere universe

Sanderson is without a doubt the master of fictional high fantasy worlds and hard magic systems. both of which are at the forefront of this book. The characters grow incredibly and their arcs are believable and relatable. The magic itself is nothing short of marvelous, though nothing less is expected of Sanderson.
Alyssya Bresnahan has done a phenomenal job with the narration. None of the voices were irritating(as is the case with some narrators) and many were downright lovable.

A masterclass in worldbuilding

The plot is very engaging and fast paced after initial few chapters. I really enjoyed the dialogue between Lightsong and Blushweaver. Also the chemistry between Siri and Susebron.
I have a feeling that this will be one of favourites from Brandon Sanderson.

Thoroughly Entertaining
