A continuation of Way of Kings, Words of Radiance picks up where the previous one left off. The quality is similar to the first book and several mysteries are resolved by the end of the book while introducing new ones. In that regard it's not a 'between' novel where nothing noteworthy happens. Which...

Don't let the size of this tome scare you away. This is epic fantasy at it's best. I am so looking forward the other books in this series!

Words of Radiance is the mind-blowingly epic follow up to the brilliant The Way of Kings. I've been craving to get back into the world of The Stormlight Archive pretty much since the moment I finished the first book...but I held off a bit. I already knew that once I read this one, I'd be left with ...

very satisfying follow up. and no clif hanger, which makes it better then a lot of serial fantasy. a complete story that also manages to be part of a greater plot, yes please. I have quibbles, but in general they are minor. very enjoyable and I look forward to the next one.

After reading 'The Way of Kings' again I was cognizant of this series' flaws - but it got full marks anyway, because of how much fun it was to read.Sanderson's characters may be overpowered and their attitudes run on fixed tracks, but the story is solid. The novelty of a new fantasy saga that doesn'...

I can't say enough great things about this book. The problems I had with the pacing of the first book were long gone in this one. Even in the "slower" parts of this book I was still on the edge of my seat dying to find out what would happen next. Every single character grew so much and I can't th...

After sticking with The Way of Kings' lengthy 600 page introduction before the action started, I was relieved this continued right after TWoK left off, full of the characters in go-mode. Therefore this was more enjoyable; less tedious.But will I continue with series? Unsure. Will I read more of Sand...

This book can be read without having read the first book in the series, and it gives a complete story in and of itself. Though I do recommend the first book too.This is a particularly good book to listen to since it's read most splendidly by the male and female reader.Great Fantasy must follow rules...

I finished the last 200 pages of Words of Radianceyesterday in style, stretched out on the back deck with that massive 1100 page hardcover resting heavily upon my chest. I don't often get to relax like that with a book, so it was nice to have the opportunity to properly enjoy the climax of Brandon S...

I could never really summarize what is going on in this book. It is too big it is too much. The scope is amazing. As usual with Sanderson, his imagination is a wondrous thing. He is the type of writer who is the reason I read fantasy books. Fantasy is supposed to be about the fantastical, and w...
