To say I enjoyed this book is an understatement of the year because I deeply, truly was gripped and thrilled by it.
Things get better: characters that in book one I disliked ended up being my fave as Sanderson went in deep humanizing them with their backgrounds, their past and feelings.
The plot is much more fast paced than the prequel and it gets more tense, exciting, profound. While the world is still being built so easily and vividly. It reached a point I'd forget I was in Kenya reading a book. All else faded and Words of Radiance was radiating with life.
Still enjoy the subliminal commentary Sanderson makes about class, mental health, slavery, religion, love.
There has been room for humorous banter for comic relief, a bit of love that adds so much spice. And uuh the adventure filled my heart up with joy.
I laughed, cried, learnt as the characters learnt about their world, even threw the book during that battle.... Now that's the mark of a GREAT book.
Did I mention the writing style and how he describes his world? Aaargh
And that cliffhanger....
Eh no words can explain the experience I had. Only you reading the books. And only if you want too.

I thought most of the way through whilst I was reading that I would take a break from Sanderson when I finished this (so far this year I have read Mistborn 1-6, Elantris and Warbreaker)

I don't need a lot of action to be entertained, but I do need to be engaged and this book did engage, 30% of the time. The rest of the time I was either bored or watching the same things happen to Kaladin for the third time.
I really wanted to love this book. But it was so overhyped, and not at all subtle with any of the elements. I feel bad saying this and thinking this way becasue I love Mistborn, but I can't deny this was not for me.
Before you come with pitchforks remember this is my opinion and I don't fault you for liking this book, but I personally will not be returning to this series. It's too redundant and slow for me, especially because hardly anything happened and the characters were essentially the same people that they started as. And after 1000+ pages I can't justify that.
