Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson
4.5
adventurous challenging inspiring medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Extremely strong followup to Way of Kings. Fell in love with Shallan in this one. Main cast starts to really meet for the first time, and I felt their interactions were enjoyable and eal

Much more political intrigue than in the precious book. The dynamics of the world and its people are really starting to get fleshed out, and Sanderson balances politics/scheming well with danger/action, so the book never feels like the pace is slowed as a result.

Slightly more awkward dialog compared to the other books, but nothing egregious.
