Galladon is my favorite character. A good man you can trust is hard to find. He showed loyalty and strength. He was not afraid to doubt but maybe he was afraid to get his hopes up. The character was developed very well. His family and upbringing, and interactions with other characters all melded together and in the end we get a rich understanding of his flaws, good traits, and persona. My second favorite is Raoden. He is a worthy hero/savior. He is a great leader who is fair, and whose friends and people would follow in a heart beat. He strong of mind and optimistic. He is aware of the needs of people around him and he is willing to rise to the occasion and be their hope. Other than getting taken by the Shaod, he seems to be perfect. A little too perfect maybe.

1) Dalinar 2) Kaladin 3) Shallan 4) Jasnah 5) Syl 6) Adolin 7) Szeth 8) Kalak After finishing WoK, I thought... aw crap, I hope Dalinar doesn't die in the next book. He is definitely my favorite character. He bears enormous burdens and responsibilities. And he does the right things, the hard things with honor. He is a great leader and father. I can't wait for more character development for everyone in the next books!

About 2 years ago, I was looking for some new books to read on Goodreads and saw a number of Brandon Sanderson books rated very VERY highly. Mistborn: The Final Empire was the first book by Sanderson that I read. After that, I read The Way of Kings (what a humongous book!). I thoroughly enjoyed The Way of Kings, so much that I can easily say it was the best book I had ever read still to this day. I was hooked now, so of course I had to read all the other Sanderson books available. I have since went back and finished the Mistborn trilogy (amazing!). Recently, I read Elantris and Warbreaker. I can't wait to get my hands on Words of Radiance and to start reading the Infinity Blade books. I love how the stories are weaved and the how beautiful and wonderfully creative all the books have been.
