According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

Epic
Revisado: 07-18-11
I've been looking for a good epic fantasy world since I've finished Sword of Truth and got as far as you can with Wheel of Time, and if this book is anything to go buy The Stormlight Archive is going to be an amazing Epic fantasy series.
It might just be because this book has the same narrators as the Wheel of Time but the writing style is very similar to Robert Jordan, this might be why he was asked to finish off the WoT series after Jordan's death.
The writing is great, the narration is great and the action scenes flow nicely enabling me to really visualise the story in my mind.
Love it, five stars isn't enough.

Kellen Tavadon, son of the Arch-Mage Lycaelon, thought he knew the way the world worked. His father, leading the wise and benevolent Council of Mages, protected and guided the citizens of the Golden City of the Bells. Young Mages in training---all men, for women were unfit to practice magic---memorized the intricate details of High Magic and aspired to seats on the council.

Excessively repetitive.
Revisado: 07-18-11
I found it incredibly frustrating listening to this book. The author painstakingly describes every detail of the world which isn't always bad, but will then keep going back and emphasising really mundane things over and over again. Important things also seem to be glossed over and there are several inconsistencies, the book starts by calling it the city of golden bells, then after that's it's constantly called the city of a thousand bells.
The plot isn't too bad but the story really drags because of the repetitiveness of the story telling, also the narrator isn't the best in the world.
I'd recommend Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth or Way of Kings as alternatives, they are equally as long but much more gripping and so much more happens in them, also the action scenes well described and exciting in these books.
