Looking at it critically, its a solid piece of work in what it sets out to do, and I found it rewarding merely as a story that feels like a more original piece of fantasy literature largely uninfluenced by the works of Tolkein. It's a bit like watching an old movie. I haven't gone beyond the Farseer trilogy, though.
I was saving The Way of Kings for after my finals; looking forward to it even more now that you've expressed that. I've had difficulty finding a series that's captured my interest since Kim Harrison's books started going flat.
