Hi everyone! I’m back! I have had a bit of a busy month but I am not going to neglect this blog. I still have some other special reviews coming up and then I will finally get into the spooky stuff. Before you read thsi review, go ahead and check out my review for The Way of Kings. Anyways, let’s talk about Words of Radiance.

War is just on the horizon. Kaladin, formerly a slave, is now a captain in charge of protecting the king and Dalinar. The Assassin in White threatens both of these men and Kaladin is faced with a difficult choice. Meanwhile, Shallan has finally made her way to the Shattered Plains where she must find a way to stop the Voidbringers and face her own dark past. The Parshendi, however, are leading an effort against the Alethi with their leader Eshonai. The world will change as they all know it and their destinies will be irrevocably tied together.

It has been a while since I have been this invested in a series but The Stormlight Archives has me in a chokehold. Words of Radiance is a worthy sequel to its predecessor. I am kind of obsessed with these characters and love how Sanderson balances plot and character development. This book was also much funnier than I had anticipated, which made it all the more enjoyable to read. Every detail of this book (and the first one) is so carefully thought out. Even quotes at the beginning of the chapters are relevant to the movement of the plot. I can’t get enough of this series. I bought the third book before I even finished this one. Go and read The Stormlight Archives immediately.
