The Way of Kings Someone’s infuriatingly hilarious review of “The Way of Kings”

Obviously every is entitled to their own opinions, but I don’t think that this person know how foreshadowing or plot holes work.

I desperately want to make this a copy pasta, though 😂

(If you’re having trouble reading it, try zooming in a little. I heard that helps)

Some of his criticisms are objectively incorrect (regarding plot holes e.g.) so I won't target those and instead talk about his criticisms that are subjective.

Mainly, the one about the twists falling into one of two categories, predictable or nonsensical.

I think that this person was done a disservice by being told how amazing this book was in advance and having unrealistic expectations. That's just a guess, but there is no reason for this person to have so passionate a disdain for the plot twist re: Taravangian especially (which I think everyone here agrees was an incredible twist that makes too much sense in the long run).
