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.

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.

I really wanted to like this book and I didn't. I struggled with the first book as well. The worldbuilding, the lore, and the magic system are amazing. The characters were good and I thought the relationships were good.

This second book in the series was even better than the first. It continues to add to the world building and its history. There is strong character development for all the characters that helps us see and learn more about what makes them, them.
