Review of 'Words of Radiance' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Brandon Sanderson has achieved another epic masterpiece with Words of Radiance. The 2nd book of The Stormlight Archive series is thoroughly enjoyable. You do need to have read the prior book to understand what's going on, but it is totally worth it. Words of Radiance continues where it left off with some of the same strong characters, plot, and magical settings. I sincerely hope that Sanderson dedicates more of his time to growing these series. I wouldn't mind a longer wait for the second Mistborn trilogy if we get more Stormlight books!

Review of 'Words of Radiance' on Goodreads

4 stars

I highly recommend this excellent follow-up to WOK, even if you found that book slow-building. I am still enjoying the characters and the twists to the story, and looking forward to book 3.

I am a new reader to the genre and am now in a the hard place of deciding what to read this month while waiting for the next books in other series that I am reading to be released.
