by Brandon Sanderson

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

A STANDALONE COSMERE ADVENTURE WITH MAGIC AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN IT

****

A story of two sisters, who just so happen to be princesses.
A story about two gods, one a God King and one lesser.
A story about an immortal trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.
Meet WARBREAKER.

This is a story of two sisters - who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, a lesser god, and an immortal trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

Theirs is a world in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren's capital city. A world transformed by BioChromatic magic, a power based on an essence known as breath. Using magic is arduous: breath can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.

But the rewards are great: by using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be performed.

I can't wait for the next one! I really enjoyed this book. And a great job on the character development. I really cared about all of the characters and I wished the next book was out already. I really want to read more!!

Warbreaker had a slow start for me, but took off once I hit the middle of the book. This novel shows off Brandon's great usage of interesting characterization. Warbreaker, is another fine example, of why Brandon is known as one of the best Sci-Fi/Fantasy writers on the market today.
