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!
