A very solid 3 for me. Hazelwood’s books are always a fun time. Needed a light contemporary romance read in between my delves of fantasy.

It cannot go into the 3-star category for me mainly because of the climax and the way things got resolved post climax…but I like Ali Hazelwood, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t have fun reading this book, despite its flaws.

Hey, it got me hooked on Stormlight, and probably the greater Cosmere, so I would say it hit all the marks it ever needed to.

How am I possibly supposed to wait for Knights of Wind and Truth?? This was so good. Enraptured me from start to finish. I love Kaladin to bits and pieces.

I. Loved. Words of Radiance. It is so so so so so so so so good. Easily the best of the four main books of Stormlight out right now. I could gush about it forever, but this is all I will say.
