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.
