Reading Playlist

The Way of Kings

by Brandon Sanderson

This playlist captures the epic scope, elemental fury, and intricate character journeys of "The Way of Kings" through a diverse blend of world-infused folk, cinematic instrumentals, and evocative indie tracks. The balance of vocal and instrumental pieces mirrors the book’s blend of personal oaths and grand battles, while unique and lesser-known artists bring fresh textures that evoke Roshar’s storm-wracked landscapes and ancient magic without resorting to clichés or overused fantasy soundtracks.
