Words of Radiance
by Brandon Sanderson
If you are looking for some top tier fantasy, then look no further. Words of Radiance builds off the groundwork set by book 1 and reaches new heights the further it goes. Sequels are difficult but Sanderson continues to show why he is a master at this craft.
Each of our main cast gets plenty of time to shine (Shallan in particular gets more focus this time round and easily became my favourite POV during this read). It was great getting to have the main cast finally meet up and seeing their interactions / their relationships develop. Each of them is so well written that I can see my favourite changing on each future reread.
While there is plenty of epic moments throughout (one of my personal favourites being "Honour is dead but I'll see what I can do"), there is also plenty of quieter moments between these storms, like Shallan's and Adolin's date, that makes these characters feel more real and leads to you being even more invested when the big epic moments do happen.
All this is enhanced thanks to the masterful narrator provided by Kate Reading & Michael Kramer.
I eagerly look forward to the rest of the Stormlight Archive and need to know what happens next on Roshar.
