It's so so good, I was even more intrigued and invested than in the first book!!
Some parts were fairly easy to foresee, but the all characters really make this unique.

and my new found hyperfixation continues with book two of the stormlight archives, which is just as much of a banger as the first one.
somehow with these books 1000 pages feels almost not enough. i cannot stop thinking about this world, its lore and, most importantly, its characters. this book series is ruining my social life and i love it. all i want is talk about every minute detail of this story and universe and i'm unreasonably angry at the people around me for not reading these books. I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THIS WITH!!! please send help!!!!!

I found this one much easier to get into compared to Way of Kings. I adore the primary character of this book and I loved getting more of her backstory. The world building is so incredible and the way literally everything is connected just blows my mind! So well thought out and planned.

That was a ride. A great sequel to The Way of Kings. The cast of characters was well-developed and moved forward with the story. As with the first book, only negative I felt was that the pacing got really fast by the end. And a minor qualm with the actual writing - sometimes things happened and characters did things, moved to other places and you could’t quite place who had done or where. Still, as a story, it is marvellous.

This was a super compelling follow-up to the Way of Kings!! I loved the character arcs for most, if not all, of these characters! The further worldbuilding done in this book, especially with the Parshendi, was just amazing! Although I do wish we got to spend even more time with them. The development of the magic system was really great too! I wouldn't say I liked Words of Radiance better than the Way of Kings, though. I think I liked them both equally in different ways.
I didn't much care for the racist side effects of the magic, though. And I'm glad that Kaladin is bothered by it too lol.
But I look forward to reading the next books as I advance in my reading project of getting all of the Stormlight books read before the final book comes out!

Words of Radiance is as much Shallan’s book as way of kings was Kaladin’s. as she is brought to the forefront her personality shines along with her charming spren Pattern. I found myself falling in love with her mysterious and at times heart wrenching story. As always, Sanderson is able to combine sweeping world building with lovable characters that feel undeniably real in their depiction.

I loved being back in the world of the Stormlight Archive and the Cosmere (even though I'm reading these way out of order.) I'm still enjoying the characters and the story. I liked this one a little better than The Way of Kings (scandalous) because we got more background on Shalan than the previous book. I love how she is more than just a pretty, rich face. I love the depth that we got in this story.
