## Description

From the author of the connected universe of the Cosmere comes the standalone novel from which spring characters who later play roles in the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive. In the world of Warbreaker, each person is born endowed with the power of one Breath―which can be sold and collected by others, then used to Awaken objects and even corpses to do their bidding. A few individuals who die in glory return as gods, with the power of thousands of Breath, but no memory of their mortal lives―and are enthroned in the Court of Gods in Hallandren’s capital. To Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claim of the Returned to be gods are repugnant blasphemy. But with one princess wed to the God King of their nation’s enemies in a bid for peace, the other finds she must rely on Breath-using mercenaries to try to rescue her sister from her monstrous husband. Lightsong the Bold, a lesser god who doubts his own religion, starts investigating mysterious murders in the Court of Gods and uncovers haunting clues to his own forgotten past. He is one of four gods who controls the army of Awakened Lifeless soldiers, and one faction is inciting an invasion of Idris despite the marriage treaty. Vasher―wielder of the sapient sword Nightblood―works behind the scenes against the declaration of war, but Lightsong’s visions of bloodshed prophesy its inevitability. Can the new queen, unaware of her sister’s imminent rescue attempt, persuade Lightsong and also somehow get through to the aloof God King―who she has been forbidden to speak to or even look in the eyes―before her homeland is destroyed?

Review: Unique magic, expansive world, dynamic characters, great story! - In my continual effort to read every Sanderson work, I picked up Warbreaker knowing more or less these two things about the story: it involves color magic, and it’s a prequel of sorts to the Stormlight Archive. Those statements are both true and false at the same time. I believe Sanderson himself said that Warbreaker is a prequel to The Way of Kings because it gives the backstory about a certain character in that series. Although, I’ve talked to a couple people who have read both books and they told me that you don’t need to read one before the other for either to make sense, that neither spoils the other, and that it’s less the character that’s important but a certain object that shows up in both books that’s important. I’m planning to read the Stormlight Archive next year (I’m putting it off until the end because I’m truly intimidated by it), so I wanted to read Warbreaker first. Second, although colors are involved in the magic, I wouldn’t say this book has a color-based magic system. (See Brent Weeks’s Lightbringer series for a true color-based magic system!) Instead, the magic here is based on Breaths. Each person is born with one Breath, and you can give your breath away at any point if you choose. You need a certain number of Breaths to be able to do different commands and essentially gain abilities because you’ve reached a certain heightening that allows for such things. Some of the abilities allow you to see colors more distinctly and see auras, so I think that is where the book gets partially mislabeled as having color magic. I enjoyed Warbreaker quite a bit, although it reminds me a lot of Elantris. I think the politics and the gods and the voice of the writing are all similar while still maintaining different plotlines. I also think this is a natural comparison to make because Brandon himself even said that Warbreaker was inspired by Elantris and that “both take the same concept, then run different directions with it.” In Elantris, people become gods but we don’t get to see what happens to them after that. In Warbreaker, we get to see what happens to them after they become gods, and we also see a god who doesn’t even believe in his own religion. Siri reminded me a lot of Sarene in the beginning of this story, and they are similar because both are required to marry someone they don’t know and don’t want to marry, but there are very different outcomes for them. I liked the plot of Warbreaker better, but I liked the overall story in Elantris better, if that makes any sense, but both were excellent books from Sanderson. Warbreaker reads like a standalone, yet Sanderson has said he’s planning to write a sequel eventually. I am curious if the sequel ever comes to fruition if it will take place before or after the Stormlight Archive since Warbreaker takes place before that series. I’m wondering if he’s going to finish TSA first and then write Warbreaker’s sequel after as a way to come full circle with the story. I don’t know. Regardless, I would love to read more about these characters and the magic of Breaths, so I’ll read any future books set in this world. I loved the political intrigue mixed with the religions of the world and the underlying mystery all wrapped up in this well-crafted colorful fantasy world. I’m surprised at how many unexpected directions this book went in; I didn’t see many events coming, and I love being shocked and surprised in my books. I also thought this book had so many great characters. Siri was probably my favorite, and I can’t believe how much Susebron grew on me by the end. Though if we’re being honest, the actual best character is the magical talking sword. Yep. I wish this book had a map because I’d love to see all the land and regions and cities mentioned in the story. That’s my biggest complaint (which really is such a minor thing) because I think all fantasy books need maps! Lastly, I was happy to see Hoid in this book. It wouldn’t be a Cosmere story if we didn’t get an appearance from Hoid somewhere. Hoid said that he learned to tell stories “in a distant place where two lands meet and gods have died.” I’m trying to figure out if I should know where he’s referring to, but I don’t think we know yet, seeing as we still haven’t gotten Hoid’s origin story. I love how Sanderson includes so many connections between his books and worlds in the Cosmere. Warbreaker was another great addition to my list of amazing fantasy books, and I would definitely recommend it to my fantasy friends out there. Even though it had many noticeable similarities to another of Sanderson’s works, Elantris, it was still a unique story in itself. I listened to this book on audio and I would love to reread it in physical form someday because it’s definitely worth a reread and I want to soak in all the details with my eyes. I’ll probably do that in ten years when the sequel comes out. Or sooner, because I’m going to miss these characters.
Review: Engaging World and Excellent Story - So one of the problems with loving an author and reading everything that he produces after you discover him is that you cannot feasibly help yourself from comparing everything to the original books that got you hooked. In the case of Brandon Sanderson, I am in a particular quandary because I chose one of his latter books with which to begin my Sanderson journey, which probably presents a more polished piece of writing. That said, I tried to give this book the fair shake it deserves with as little comparison to the Mistborn books as I can possibly muster. This book is an absolute joy in the fantasy genre. Since quietly entering the scene with his own novel Elantris, and then bursting into the limelight with his selection to complete the final volumes of the epic Wheel of Time series, Sanderson has built a reputation as a masterful world builder. It is this skill alone that sets Sanderson amongst the elite of modern fantasy writers. The truly unique world that he creates in Warbreaker is almost mind boggling. In this world, people are invested with something call BioChromatic Breath, or BioChroma and/or Breath for short. This substance seems almost like a soul, but may be transferred from person to person to invest power to them. This Breath also seems to be linked in some way to colors of the world, allowing people to use the Breath and colors in conjunction to reanimate, or Awaken inanimate objects, and even dead persons. People can accumulate breaths to reach levels of power called Heightenings that allow them to perceive colors and life forms more acutely, and to give them more abilities to perform Awakenings. Around this power, competing religions have formed. In one religion, Austre, god of colors seems to demand that people be modest and not abuse this powerful BioChroma. On the other hand, there is the Priesthood of the Iridescent Tones, that has come to worship the Returned, persons that have died and reawakened spontaneously and seem like living Gods. However, these Gods must take a breath from a child every week to stay alive (which further antagonizes the followers of Austre). The chief of this pantheon is the mysterious God-King Susebron who leads his kingdom from a seat of mystery and fearsome power. It is in this setting that Sanderson weaves his story of intrigue and war. The novel follows the lives of three main characters. Vivenna is the eldest princess of the Idrian kingdom, groomed her entire life to marry the God-King Susebron in order to avoid a war with the Hallandran empire who threatens the tiny Idrians' kingdom. At the time of her 22nd birthday, she is destined to go to T'Telir to marry the God-King, but instead, her father chooses to send the youngest daughter, Siri, as a gambit to unhinge his enemies in the Hallandran Empire. Siri is the absolute opposite of her sister; she is brash, irreverent, and unaccustomed and unprepared for court life. Finally, there is Lightsong, the Returned God that refuses to believe he is a God. Sanderson shows his skill with these characters by building well-rounded and multidimensional characters. Each of his characters shows great growth, and he does this with minimal telling and maximum showing (though Vivenna in particular is prone to inner dialogues). Siri, I felt, showed the most seamless transitions in the book. When she arrived in T'Telir, she was a scared teenager, prone to outbursts and a petulant attitude. As the book progresses, we see her mature greatly into a woman with great poise and a deep sense of love and empathy as she grows accustomed to her unexpected marriage to the most feared "man" in the world. In addition to the main characters, we are introduced to nearly a dozen further characters with unique and interesting characteristics in themselves. Tonk Fah and Dent, the wiley and conniving mercenaries, are hired to protect Vivenna as she covertly travels to T'Telir to rescue her sister. Bluefingers, the ever-bowing and scraping lead scribe of the Hallandran bureaucracy, plays the part of the only friendly face for Siri in a terrifying new world. Vasher, the brooding and dangerously mysterious Awakener, carries a terrible sentient sword called Nightblood and stalks the outskirts of most of the story. These characters and more are used with great efficiency to advance the storyline and set the reader up for several excellent plot twists. I ended up choosing to give this book either 3.5 or 4 stars because I did feel there were some flaws to the book in general. I wrote in my review of Elantris that the dialogue some sometimes rather forced and clunky, and I feel that his flaw continues in this novel. Sometimes this clunky dialogue is guilty of telling us about things rather than showing us things as well. Also, as strong as Sanderson is at building interesting and engaging characters, he can definitely miss the mark as well. As hard as he tried to inject dark humor with Tonk Fah, I just found it incredibly off-setting. In fact, a lot of the attempts at humor, with Tonk Fah's goofy attitude and Lightsong's "I'm so irreverent" comments, just mostly fell flat for me. Overall, however, this novel was well written, engaging, and entertaining. I was a little surprised at the open-ended ending that seems to beg for a sequel, but as a stand-alone novel, it brings no detriment to the book as a whole. There are great plot twists and unexpected turns that keep the reader engaged, and the world that Sanderson builds alone makes this novel worth your time to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lord of Colors!
*by D***. on November 30, 2022*

While WARBREAKER feels somewhat different from some of Sanderson's other work despite being part of his Cosmere, I found this to be such a deeply satisfying story with fascinating magic, a world rife with political/ideological tension that sits on the edge of war, and vivid characters that will likely live rent-free in my head for a long time to come. PLOT/TONE The story focusses around a princess named Siri who is the youngest of the Idrian royal family whose bloodline is famous for being able to change their hair length and color on command, although it can also change based on their emotional state unless they control it. Siri is a princess of little consequence until her father (in an extremely messed up move, I must say) decides to send her to the looming kingdom of Hallandren to marry their feared and terrible god king and bear him an heir instead of her eldest sister, Vivenna, who has been training for this task her whole life. The arrangement is part of a peace treaty between the two nations and although honoring it does not guarantee that Hallandren will not invade Idris, the king hopes that sending Siri will at least buy his kingdom valuable time. From there, Siri finds herself in a nation with strange foreign customs and deadly court intrigue, but also learns that not all aspects of this nation are as awful as she has been led to believe. This fish-out-of-water motif combined with the delightful dynamic of all the different Returned gods in Hallandren and the machinations of different people made for a dynamic read that kept me constantly anxious to know what would happen next. In typical Sanderson fashion, there is a flurry of high stakes action and stunning reveals at the end of the book, but I actually found the ending to be a bit more open-ended than is typical for him (outside of THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE series at least). I certainly wasn't dissatisfied with the conclusion by any means, but I did kind of wish it would continue somehow although I am not aware of any plans for Sanderson to do a sequel for this (which is kind of a shame). I will also say that this story felt like it took on some darker subject matter than I am used to with Sanderson's work, but I enjoyed that there are still certain lines that he does not cross. CHARACTERS As one might expect with a Sanderson novel, there is a diverse and interesting cast of characters from different economic backgrounds and (fictional) nationalities. Tensions run deep with people of different nations as well as social standing, so seeing how these different types of characters interacted with each other was something that I particularly enjoyed. In addition to seeing the rebellious and carefree Siri grow into a woman of regal poise, it was equally fun to see her sister, Vivenna take on a somewhat opposite character arc. The god, Lightsong, struggling to accept his own divinity and the goddess, Blushweaver's, political maneuverings serve as fascinating sub plots that ultimately have profound implications on the story's end. I also ended up really enjoying some of the more antagonistic characters in the story and enjoyed the "everyone is not as they seem" trope that is rather prevalent throughout the cast. Honestly, I feel like this novel deserves a lot more credit for it's colorful roster of heroes and villains since for me, I think I actually felt a lot more attached to them than some of the characters in even Sanderson's STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE (hot take, I know, I just really, really liked these characters). SETTING/WORLD While there is a distinct sense that this is a sprawling world with lots of history, the story mainly just takes place in the contrasting kingdoms of Idris and Hallandren. Idris is a conservative nation that values modesty, restraint, and considers vibrant colors of any kind to be ostentatious even though they worship the god, Austre, who is the Lord of Colors. They view Hallendren as an evil, sinful, and even barbaric place even though the people of Idris originally lived there before an event known as The Many War. Hallendren is starkly opposite of Idris with revealing, colorful clothing being the norm and their religion being based around a small pantheon of so-called gods which are made up of Returned (people who died and came back as a brand new person with no memory of their past). There are some interesting themes around the religion and politics of the world, though Sanderson always handles these topics with a light hand and does not prioritize them above the story itself which I appreciate. I did finish the story wishing that we could have gotten glimpses of other parts of this world, but instead we got a much more focused narrative and that's a tradeoff I will always be happy with. The magic in WARBREAKER might feel quite a bit more mysterious than other magic systems that Sanderson has crafted. Make no mistake, this is still a decidedly "hard" magic system with explicit rules and limitations, it simply feels a bit on the "softer" side for much of the story since the main characters don't fully understand it. I rather liked this balance as I was able to still feel a sense of wonder at what some of the characters could do, but then have it mostly explained near the story's end. I think there are still some open questions that could be answered about the history of the magic and the gods, but I am satisfied with how things all pieced together. THE AUDIOBOOK While I am not well-versed in the world of audiobooks, I can say that the narrator is one of the single most important factors that determines whether I will enjoy the book or not in audio format. Alyssa Bresnahan's performance for this novel was absolutely stunning to me. There were honestly times where I forgot I was only listening to one person because of how dynamic and varied her dramatization for the different characters was. Even her more neutral narration is smooth and soothing in a way that felt apropos for this kind of a fantasy story. I've enjoyed vocal performances by industry legends like Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, but this was truly on another level and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any other books done by Bresnahan. I will also say that the Audible edition has much nicer cover art than other editions of this book. CONCLUSION While WARBREAKER may tell a different type of story than some of Sanderson's more popular works, all of his hallmarks are still here and I found myself appreciating the tighter storytelling even if some of that came at the expense of fleshing out the world and it's history. (+) Stunning audio performance. (+) A deep and memorable cast. (+) Exciting action scenes toward the story's final act. (+) Lots of political intrigue and fun twists. (+) Fascinating magic (though this is pretty much a given for any Brandon Sanderson novel). (-) The ending doesn't offer as much closure as some people might want. (-) Fans of THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE series might find the lighter world building to be jarring (though this was not an issue for me).
