Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson


Well, I sure wish this adult fantasy novel had a different cover. Is this cheesy or what? The concept is good though--a world where people have "breaths" and if you collect breaths, you can see brighter colors in the world and have more powers. Slaves don't have any breath and look gray and drab. Fighters are bright and so are those close to the gods and goddesses, many of whom are re-born and forced to collect breaths on a regular basis. Vivenna and Siri are both princesses and when one is forced to marry a god-king, the other is sent in her place, forcing a dramatic rescue attempt. I can't wait to see what some PHS readers think about this one.
