Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

Well! what can I say? This is a true masterpiece in the fantasy genre in modern times. The book just became an all-time favourite of mine. All the characters were established masterfully and never felt boring.

In this book my favourite character was Kaladin. Syl is the highlight. She just makes the whole story more fun. This time she was not the only one. Pattern joins in. What perfect little characters! I desperately want banter between Syl and Pattern. I love their voices in the audiobook version of GraphicAudio

Adolin and Dalinar were the best supporting cast I have read in a book for a long time. The way they differ yet share many of the same values makes their character all the more exciting. I love the scenes between Dalinar and Kaladin. The scenes are filled with the optimum amount of respect and scepticism which makes them the best chapters in the book.

Shallan's flashback chapters were sometimes boring to me if it doesn't include Pattern but the plot twist, in the end, makes them worth reading through. All the foreshadowing for the twist was there. Shallan and Kaladin's banter is truly engaging.

The ending was so satisfying and makes me more excited to read the 3rd book in the series. I am also starting Oathbringer immediately.
