15.1k reviews for:

An excellent sequel to The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance retains the grandeur of the first book, and now weaves the main plot - a fight against a dark god who has corrupted Alethi society and slain their god - far more deeply into the narrative. Men have reclaimed the oaths of the Knights Radiant; this a book about them standing up and becoming once more, the guiding lights before a storm of divine hatred.

I can’t not give this book 5 stars, but Storms! It was a beast. The level of detail in Sanderson’s world building is hard to comprehend, and by design, I had no idea what was actually going on most of the time, and I still enjoyed it. Loved the character development and the magic system! His writing does move more slowly than I prefer, but it was worth it. Just be ready for a massive commitment. Also, I blame the Interludes for slowing my reading down. Diving into some lighter reads before I continue with the Cosmere… lol
