Omtale fra forlaget
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.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.

Fornøyelig fantasybok, spesielt om man har, eller skal lese, Stormlight Archives.
Noen av dialogene hadde litt å gå på, spesielt til å begynne med, men det tok seg opp etter hvert. En bok drevet mye av dialog, og beskrivelse av karakterene (noen litt "cringy" detaljer her og der, haha) og omgivelsene. Spenningen tar seg opp, og historien har min fulle oppmerksomhet halvveis ut i boka. Skulle ønske handlingen hadde mer spenning gjennom historien, men absolutt verdt lesningen for en tålmodig leser.
Digger verdensoppbygningen (world-building), og som vanlig mestrer Brandon dette aspektet ved skrivinga. Karakterene er velutviklet og dynamiske, sammenlignet med Brandons første stand-alone "Elantris" - der karakterene fort blir litt for perfekte, uten mye utvikling.

“Right now, you don’t make sense.”
Denth smiled. “What I’m trying to say is that you don’t understand a man until you understand what makes him do what he does. Every man is a hero in his own story, Princess. Murderers don’t believe that they’re to blame for what they do. Thieves, they think they deserve the money they take. Dictators, they believe they have the right—for the safety of their people and the good of the nation—to do whatever they wish.”
