Synopsis:
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. Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is a 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, a lesser god, and an immortal trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

Q: Do you run your reviews through editing software before posting?
A: Sometimes. I proof read my reviews when I remember to. And if I am reviewing a book I got from Netgalley, I try extra hard to make sure there aren't any spelling errors.
That beginning is definitely attention grabbing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book. I use Microsoft Word to check my spelling mistakes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Hmm, interesting first lines. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe beginning would certainly grab my attention! It's never occurred to me to use editing software on my reviews. I am the editing software. LOL
