YMMV tropes for The Way of Kings (2010). YMMV tropes for the entire Stormlight Archive are here.
- Genius Bonus: The number 10 is used as a Numerological Motif throughout The Way Of Kings, and the concept of symmetry shows up repeatedly as having religious, cultural and magical significance. The book is 1001 pages long. The best part is, that was not, in fact, originally intended. It wasn't until they were finishing up the book that it became clear that it might be possible and Sanderson modified it to fit, considering the opportunity too delicious to miss.
- Moral Event Horizon: Sadeas crosses it when he seizes a chance to get Dalinar killed by the Parshendi. It fails (narrowly), but a ton of Dalinar's men are slaughtered in the process.
