WORDS OF RADIANCE Paperback – 19 September 2017

Most of the qualms I had about the way of kings are not present in this book making this an absolute treat.All fantasy fans should give this a try.As a continuing to way of kings this book continues the wonderful world building, has more action and has moments of pure hype.

The book is amazing. No words are enough to describe the enormity and the grandeur of the world that Sanderson has built. The richness of Roshar is beautiful if you imagine it. The story surpasses the heights that Twok reached. A worthy sequel. Coming to the quality of the book, the pages are a bit thin in the hardcover version. But the art and the occasional illustrations are pretty good.

I've enjoyed reading Sanderson over the past couple of years and 'Stormlight Archives' have been thoroughly exciting.The book's quite a page-turner and makes for a light read despite the page count. The writing is fresh and the world vibrant. Characters have depth to them unlike many a fantasy series.Totally worth the time.

I have been waiting a long time to read the Stormlight Archives, and yes, I read the first two books almost without a pause (yes, yes, I had to eat, work, sleep and so on). All the twists and turns are great, and Sanderson has yet to tell us the full extent of the stormlight powers- which is what we look forward to. Less gory than Martin, less compulsory nudity than Robert Jordan - both points count in his favour.The characters are real, human, flawed and glorious in turn. the world is built up with enough details that you can almost see it. Do go ahead and read. Of course, the problem with these humongous series with massive tomes is that the wait for the next volume is lo-o-ong.** spoiler alert***The reason I don't give this book 5 stars is that there are some holes in the plot, which are not expected from Sanderson.One, a great character is killed off early; and then seems to be alive again at the end of Book Two. (Similar plot device in The WOFT, but that had several books before the character's return to life.)Was this on purpose, or did the author suddenly realise that killing her was a mistake.Second, Renarin is a Radiant? he didn't seem to do anything making him worthy of being a Radiant.We did not get any details on him at all, not even the bits we got on the assassin, Purelake, the moving islands. I hope this back story comes up inthe next volume.

Lets talk about the paper quality, i got this book for 500/- and i gotta tell you its paper quality isnt great; its bearable though given the amount spent. Now the reason i gave it a 5 star review is because this is the best SA BOOK. sanderson really got it right in this one. If you wanna read it once. Buy it. If you like to collect. Well dummy dont buy the MMP version go buy the hardcover, the story is worth it. Just trust me.

I really enjoyed this book than the way of kings

I started this book with high expectations...after all, the Way of Kings had blown me away like few others have done yet. But i have to admit- WORDS OF RADIANCE IS AS GOOD AS WAY OF KINGS. And maybe better.If he keeps on writing books like this, well then Stormlight Archive has a bright, radiant future. It may even be remembered as the greatest fantasy series...Lets see...

Best fantasy series. I bought this book for 456 (mass market paperback). I love stormlight archives.This book is much much better than 'The Way of Kings' . Sanderson deserves all the praise that he gets for this series.
