Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
If I could give this book more than five stars, I would.
Where to start…this book was gripping and I found myself pulling almost all nighters just to get in a few more pages (which probably wasn’t the smartest lol).
The plot of this book was interesting and executed quite well. I wouldn’t say that there were many major plot twists that made me want to scream and throw my book across the room (and all twists with that potential ended up not happening? If that makes sense?). This book succeeded to progress the story is a compelling way as well as build up the world and it’s lore more.
Characters wise…I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS!!!!! Mainly Kaladin and Syl, but still!!! Shallan definitely grew on me and Adolin is Adolin (curious to see what happens with him). I can’t decide if I think Adolin and Shallan are cute or if I want Shallan and Kaladin to possibly develop feelings for each other. Anyways, Kaladin continues to be my favorite character. I was mad at him for making bad decisions like his oath to help kill the king but I liked how his power was taken away from him and he had to be a normal man once again (I just hated how I thought syl was possibly dead). Also, what’s the stormfathers problem :/
ANYWAYS I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THIS TOPPED THE WAY OF KINGS WHICH I DID NOT THINK WAS POSSIBLE!
