Ladda Ner Words Of Radiance By Brandon Sanderson Pdf Ebook

Genre : Episk ,Böcker ,Sci-fi och fantasy ,Fantasy

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance, Book Two of the Stormlight Archive, continues the immersive fantasy epic that The Way of Kings began.

Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status "darkeyes." Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl.

The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives.

Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

Beautiful Buildup to Something Amazing

I love this book with all my heart, the twists and turns along with the masterful storytelling and character development will lead to it's one-day classical status. I plan to read it again in the future!

Perfection

I mean if there’s a book and series to get totally lost in, this is it. Just what I was hoping to find in quarantine and the characters and story are perfection.

Words of Radiance

Excellent book. Hard to put down !

Oodd B Narr

Love it!

Can’t stop praising this series! Love it!

Findaddy16

Awesome!

The way of kings and this book are two of my all-time favorites. Do yourself a favor and read them! God I hope there’s a movie or an HBO series on the Stormlight Chronicles. Great stuff.

Myrhillion

Couldn’t stop reading...

It took a bit to spin up, but then I could not stop reading. Epic follow-up to way of kings, with some closure on a few threads.

Fheter3

Sanderson has done it again!!

Storms! Sanderson Stormblessed has produced a fantastic follow-up to The Way of Kings. I cannot wait to continue the Stormlight Archives. Once again, well done!

kiki8324

One of the best books I’ve ever read

By the time I get near the end, I tried to slow down my reading because I did not want this one to end! If done right this series would make a great TV show.

ROMO.3

Amazing

This novel along with the other books in the Stormlight archive is magnificently captivating, and impossibly complex. I love all of Brandon’s books that are within the Cosmere!

MDoc66

Words of Radiance

Absolutely loved it. It amazes me that the author can keep it all together.

Mista Finn

Ending my frustration

Finally we get what is needed I will say no more it is amazing to grow with our characters

BlufireFPO9

A truly imaginative body of work!

I happened to stumble upon my first book, Way of the Kings and have since just finished Words of Radiance! Both of these books have renewed my love of reading, my love of magic and its possibilities. An incredible journey through a world that continues to amaze. The way in which characters were developed is mind boggling, how each level of joy mixed with pain mixed with acceptance has created an immediate bond to each character through their journey. The journey is exciting and thrilling, a non-stop ride unbridled creativity. I dare not compare these writings to any other series of books similar for fear of downplaying the sheer genius of this body of work. This is what writers dream of writing. If it were possibly I would certainly be seeing Inspirationspren right now! I look forward to the next book the Oathbringer.

tomd181

It’s a slog, but still pretty good

I don’t want to attempt to summarize this book in just a few words, since Sanderson has invented a seriously diverse and complex universe. Mostly, I want to ask if there are ever any editors involved in his process. I have read four of his books now. Each one has had the same issue: the first 80% (and he does not write short novels) will be Sanderson setting up about a million dominoes, many of them with similar names and motives. About the time that you may want to just give up, he knocks over the leading domino, and for the rest of the (many) pages, all hell will break loose. As he works to wrap up the story, which is always just one loooong chapter in an almost endless story, you will be forced to admit that this guy can write! Why isn’t there an editor demanding that he apply some discipline to the first 80%? The good news is that this book is an improvement over the first entry in this saga. The bad news is that he might need TEN books to tell his story. Yikes.

Reddttt

Excellent

Jumped right in after way of kings and diidn't want it to end. Don't know how this will be a movie. They better change their minds and make it a tv series.

David W. Stevens

Not looking forward to the 3rd

I couldn’t put this one down, read it through a long weekend. I’ve been very unproductive since starting it, and had to finish it so I could get back to work.

J76goatboy

If...

If this book was an eggroll, I'd eat it, then order some more

SteeleDistilled

Just too good to put down!

Every chapter that Bounces from one character to the next makes you read 100 more pages just to get back to where it left off, except you feel this way with every character. So amazing!

Fred Gibson

just amazing

i can honestly say that this is one of the best books i've ever read, the world building and character development is perfect, you start to like them and start thinking in terms of their world almost without realizing it. you know it's good when you wish an 1000 plus page book was longer. great book, would recommend to anyone and excited for oathbringer later this year.

MatrixVoom

Genius!

Mr. Sanderson is one of the greatest literary authors of our time, forget this is fantasy. Epic, sweeping, emotional, world building, entertaining.... If this was not in the genre of fantasy, this book would be winning literary awards right and left!

Highness isn't handbag 198

Amazing!!!!!

Somehow, Brandon Sanderson has managed to turn a thousand page textbook into a gripping page turner. The book was exciting, insightful, and philosophical every page.

Be kind reread

So much awesome

I decided to start buying both the hardcover and the digital copies; it is that good that I want access everywhere I can spare the time to read.

Spange2380

Awesome!

I really had a hard time putting this down to go on with my life. Even the innovations in the story were so well written as to inspire creativity in my life. How can there possibly be more? I can't wait to find out.

Mallemaroking

Words of Radiance

Difficult to put down! I can't wait for the next installment

Saulito221

Hooked

This picked up where the way of kings left off. Thrilling ride from start to finish. I am hooked and cannot wait for the next one

Double.D

High fantasy

I don't know how he does it. High fantasy always has pitfalls that are common to the genre, and this book (series) doesn't really avoid them all. And yet... I'm still greedy for more. Sanderson just has a natural talent for conveying a sense of hope and heroism, even to cynical b****ds like me. He really gets to you on an emotional level. To neg a little, I could cut out a large portion of non-Kaladin content and still be happy. This doesn't have to be as dense as it is. Nevertheless, 5 stars!

QDog1969

Great Epic Series

With the Stormlight Archive, Sanderson proves that he knows how to weave a fantasy world of epic proportions. The Way of Kings sets the table, leaving you hungry for more. Words of Radiance draws you in deeper, revealing just enough to keep you engaged yet satisfied at the same time. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

MissEricaMichelle

Favorite series

I loved the Stormlight Archive series. It was nothing like I've read before. Sanderson takes you to a new intriguing land. It is easy to connect with his characters and the plot keeps you on your toes encountering new surprises at every turn.

Zeke333

Absolutely Astounding

One of the best books and absolute masterpiece series in the making. Please write faster Sanderson!! Must read!!!!

Redforemanzfoot

Not as good as the first

A step backwards from the first. I spent too much time skipping/skimming chapters in this one. Often Sanderson gets too fond of his own cleverness and it really weighs down the book. Also, his editor most have told him to put in more chapters for women. This also was the downfall of the wheel of time books. Finally, I hate the pretentious trend of putting proverbs/poems at the beginning of each chapter. Please stop.

Potato potato Potato potato

Everything you need in a book

It has everything: fantasy, action/adventure, comedy,etc. But maybe too good of a series. Don't want to wait till 2018 for next book in the series.❤️❤️❤️📕📗😰😰😰😰😰😰📘📘

Hdhfjdfkfkfkfk

Great start to an awesome series

He needs to publish more books

Keaura Peter

Fantasy Masterpiece

Clearly authorspren are circling around Brandon Sanderson’s head! This is one of the finest examples of fantasy fiction I have ever read. I’m not a witches-and-fairies kind of guy. I prefer my science fiction to be more hard science and I like my fantasy fiction to be deep and intriguing and consistent. The story is hugely compelling and Sanderson’s ability to paint a picture with words is unparalleled. I cannot beg Mr Sanderson enough to complete another book in this fascinating story.

Kevin Showalter

Incredible book (end changed? Noticed 8/24/15?)

Absolutely fantastic plot building, and the characters are very real, believable people. More importantly, they don't really follow normal trends, they are refreshingly new, unique. Love it so much that I reread it often, just to relive the story and notice tidbits I didn't before...but this read through (8/24/15) I noticed a different ending to the battle with Szeth? Am I crazy or does anyone else see that..?

Dissapointed........... :(

Great Storyline

The Stormlight Archive are dangerous for readers like me, because you can’t put them down when you start, and they aren’t small. These are some of the best books (maybe THE best) I have ever read. They are my absolute favorite series, with great action, mystery, and comedy throughout the the whole of it. The story is well rounded with different characters, mini side stories that actually have something to do with the story that also help explain things, and is very entertaining. Keep it up Brandon!

Mr. D flight

Great series

I love the whole thing

Bat013

Amazing read

So glad I found this

Challenges a Game of Thrones

There are not enough superlatives to recommend this series. Sanderson is the next Frank Herbert/JRR Tolkien and the equal of Anderson, Martin and Rothfuss. The writing is intelligent and is a great companion to the captivating story-telling style. Character development is consistent and believable and leaves you wanting more. Additionally, unlike a lot within this genre, the plot is not telegraphed at the outset. The twists, turns and surprises are well paced and placed but not overdone. The potential for the rest of the series is limitless. Ideally , Bran will write faster than Martin.

nsgstdnt87

One of the best

Books/Series ever written. Sanderson takes character development to a whole new level in this series. Pay attention to detail, and read it at least twice!

Callends

Words of Radiance

Excellent follow up to The Way of Kings. Hope there will be a third book to this series...

Wolfanimagi

Awsome

It's been years since I have been this excited about a book. Everyone has been writing the same old tiresome pattern. Words of radiance broke the mold. It's well written and exciting, full of amazing twist and turns. This is a must read

BSFan99

Love it

Originally found Sanderson via his work on the Wheel of Time series and liked how he did that. Then read Mistborn books and really enjoyed his unique style of new ways to approach magic in stories. This series does the same. Some think first book starts slow, but when you consider this is going to be a long epic series, I enjoyed all of first 2 books. Characters have depth, but the story carries you along. You may walk a different path for short times, or drop into the past for more depth but you always end up right back on the main path! Now I have to suffer waiting for the next book!!

RRPillage

Great series

As with all of Mr Sanderson's work, he is one of the best character creators in the business. He makes you care about what happens to them. Looking forward to the next!

Creepehunterscrew996

Amazing!

"The Way of Kings" is one of the best books I've ever read, and "Words of Radiance" is an amazing sequel. I cannot wait to read the next book

123antoniogirls

Great Book and Ending

The book was an awesome read. I especially loved the interludes which lead you away from the main story line to only drag you back in. I especially enjoyed the ending with the stab in the eye and bringing back my favorite light-eyed women. Kept me reading and that's saying a lot.

Warkitten122

Engrossing

While starting a bit disjointed, the story quickly became a definite page turner. Good character development makes one feel like they know each character personally. The only negative is I now have to wait for the next installment.

If...

If this were cheese, I'd eat it then buy some more....

This book is fantastic!

It had been a long while since I read a book for enjoyment and this series has gotten me hooked again! This book had me literally on the edge of my seat many times and I couldn't put it down at all! One of my favorite books I've ever read and this next year before the next book can't pass fast enough! Brandon Sanderson is a fantastic author and this is a fantastic work!

Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl.

The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives.

Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

Beautiful Buildup to Something Amazing

I love this book with all my heart, the twists and turns along with the masterful storytelling and character development will lead to it's one-day classical status. I plan to read it again in the future!

Perfection

I mean if there’s a book and series to get totally lost in, this is it. Just what I was hoping to find in quarantine and the characters and story are perfection.

Words of Radiance

Excellent book. Hard to put down !

Oodd B Narr

Love it!

Can’t stop praising this series! Love it!

Findaddy16

Awesome!

The way of kings and this book are two of my all-time favorites. Do yourself a favor and read them! God I hope there’s a movie or an HBO series on the Stormlight Chronicles. Great stuff.

Myrhillion

Couldn’t stop reading...

It took a bit to spin up, but then I could not stop reading. Epic follow-up to way of kings, with some closure on a few threads.

Fheter3

Sanderson has done it again!!

Storms! Sanderson Stormblessed has produced a fantastic follow-up to The Way of Kings. I cannot wait to continue the Stormlight Archives. Once again, well done!

kiki8324

One of the best books I’ve ever read

By the time I get near the end, I tried to slow down my reading because I did not want this one to end! If done right this series would make a great TV show.

ROMO.3

Amazing

This novel along with the other books in the Stormlight archive is magnificently captivating, and impossibly complex. I love all of Brandon’s books that are within the Cosmere!

MDoc66

Words of Radiance

Absolutely loved it. It amazes me that the author can keep it all together.

Mista Finn

Ending my frustration

Finally we get what is needed I will say no more it is amazing to grow with our characters

BlufireFPO9

A truly imaginative body of work!

I happened to stumble upon my first book, Way of the Kings and have since just finished Words of Radiance! Both of these books have renewed my love of reading, my love of magic and its possibilities. An incredible journey through a world that continues to amaze. The way in which characters were developed is mind boggling, how each level of joy mixed with pain mixed with acceptance has created an immediate bond to each character through their journey. The journey is exciting and thrilling, a non-stop ride unbridled creativity. I dare not compare these writings to any other series of books similar for fear of downplaying the sheer genius of this body of work. This is what writers dream of writing. If it were possibly I would certainly be seeing Inspirationspren right now! I look forward to the next book the Oathbringer.

tomd181

It’s a slog, but still pretty good

I don’t want to attempt to summarize this book in just a few words, since Sanderson has invented a seriously diverse and complex universe. Mostly, I want to ask if there are ever any editors involved in his process. I have read four of his books now. Each one has had the same issue: the first 80% (and he does not write short novels) will be Sanderson setting up about a million dominoes, many of them with similar names and motives. About the time that you may want to just give up, he knocks over the leading domino, and for the rest of the (many) pages, all hell will break loose. As he works to wrap up the story, which is always just one loooong chapter in an almost endless story, you will be forced to admit that this guy can write! Why isn’t there an editor demanding that he apply some discipline to the first 80%? The good news is that this book is an improvement over the first entry in this saga. The bad news is that he might need TEN books to tell his story. Yikes.

Reddttt

Excellent

Jumped right in after way of kings and diidn't want it to end. Don't know how this will be a movie. They better change their minds and make it a tv series.

David W. Stevens

Not looking forward to the 3rd

I couldn’t put this one down, read it through a long weekend. I’ve been very unproductive since starting it, and had to finish it so I could get back to work.

J76goatboy

If...

If this book was an eggroll, I'd eat it, then order some more

SteeleDistilled

Just too good to put down!

Every chapter that Bounces from one character to the next makes you read 100 more pages just to get back to where it left off, except you feel this way with every character. So amazing!

Fred Gibson

just amazing

i can honestly say that this is one of the best books i've ever read, the world building and character development is perfect, you start to like them and start thinking in terms of their world almost without realizing it. you know it's good when you wish an 1000 plus page book was longer. great book, would recommend to anyone and excited for oathbringer later this year.

MatrixVoom

Genius!

Mr. Sanderson is one of the greatest literary authors of our time, forget this is fantasy. Epic, sweeping, emotional, world building, entertaining.... If this was not in the genre of fantasy, this book would be winning literary awards right and left!

Highness isn't handbag 198

Amazing!!!!!

Somehow, Brandon Sanderson has managed to turn a thousand page textbook into a gripping page turner. The book was exciting, insightful, and philosophical every page.

Be kind reread

So much awesome

I decided to start buying both the hardcover and the digital copies; it is that good that I want access everywhere I can spare the time to read.

Spange2380

Awesome!

I really had a hard time putting this down to go on with my life. Even the innovations in the story were so well written as to inspire creativity in my life. How can there possibly be more? I can't wait to find out.

Mallemaroking

Words of Radiance

Difficult to put down! I can't wait for the next installment

Saulito221

Hooked

This picked up where the way of kings left off. Thrilling ride from start to finish. I am hooked and cannot wait for the next one

Double.D

High fantasy

I don't know how he does it. High fantasy always has pitfalls that are common to the genre, and this book (series) doesn't really avoid them all. And yet... I'm still greedy for more. Sanderson just has a natural talent for conveying a sense of hope and heroism, even to cynical b****ds like me. He really gets to you on an emotional level. To neg a little, I could cut out a large portion of non-Kaladin content and still be happy. This doesn't have to be as dense as it is. Nevertheless, 5 stars!

QDog1969

Great Epic Series

With the Stormlight Archive, Sanderson proves that he knows how to weave a fantasy world of epic proportions. The Way of Kings sets the table, leaving you hungry for more. Words of Radiance draws you in deeper, revealing just enough to keep you engaged yet satisfied at the same time. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

MissEricaMichelle

Favorite series

I loved the Stormlight Archive series. It was nothing like I've read before. Sanderson takes you to a new intriguing land. It is easy to connect with his characters and the plot keeps you on your toes encountering new surprises at every turn.

Zeke333

Absolutely Astounding

One of the best books and absolute masterpiece series in the making. Please write faster Sanderson!! Must read!!!!

Redforemanzfoot

Not as good as the first

A step backwards from the first. I spent too much time skipping/skimming chapters in this one. Often Sanderson gets too fond of his own cleverness and it really weighs down the book. Also, his editor most have told him to put in more chapters for women. This also was the downfall of the wheel of time books. Finally, I hate the pretentious trend of putting proverbs/poems at the beginning of each chapter. Please stop.

Potato potato Potato potato

Everything you need in a book

It has everything: fantasy, action/adventure, comedy,etc. But maybe too good of a series. Don't want to wait till 2018 for next book in the series.❤️❤️❤️📕📗😰😰😰😰😰😰📘📘

Hdhfjdfkfkfkfk

Great start to an awesome series

He needs to publish more books

Keaura Peter

Fantasy Masterpiece

Clearly authorspren are circling around Brandon Sanderson’s head! This is one of the finest examples of fantasy fiction I have ever read. I’m not a witches-and-fairies kind of guy. I prefer my science fiction to be more hard science and I like my fantasy fiction to be deep and intriguing and consistent. The story is hugely compelling and Sanderson’s ability to paint a picture with words is unparalleled. I cannot beg Mr Sanderson enough to complete another book in this fascinating story.

Kevin Showalter

Incredible book (end changed? Noticed 8/24/15?)

Absolutely fantastic plot building, and the characters are very real, believable people. More importantly, they don't really follow normal trends, they are refreshingly new, unique. Love it so much that I reread it often, just to relive the story and notice tidbits I didn't before...but this read through (8/24/15) I noticed a different ending to the battle with Szeth? Am I crazy or does anyone else see that..?

Dissapointed........... :(

Great Storyline

The Stormlight Archive are dangerous for readers like me, because you can’t put them down when you start, and they aren’t small. These are some of the best books (maybe THE best) I have ever read. They are my absolute favorite series, with great action, mystery, and comedy throughout the the whole of it. The story is well rounded with different characters, mini side stories that actually have something to do with the story that also help explain things, and is very entertaining. Keep it up Brandon!

Mr. D flight

Great series

I love the whole thing

Bat013

Amazing read

So glad I found this

Challenges a Game of Thrones

There are not enough superlatives to recommend this series. Sanderson is the next Frank Herbert/JRR Tolkien and the equal of Anderson, Martin and Rothfuss. The writing is intelligent and is a great companion to the captivating story-telling style. Character development is consistent and believable and leaves you wanting more. Additionally, unlike a lot within this genre, the plot is not telegraphed at the outset. The twists, turns and surprises are well paced and placed but not overdone. The potential for the rest of the series is limitless. Ideally , Bran will write faster than Martin.

nsgstdnt87

One of the best

Books/Series ever written. Sanderson takes character development to a whole new level in this series. Pay attention to detail, and read it at least twice!

Words of Radiance

Excellent follow up to The Way of Kings. Hope there will be a third book to this series...

Wolfanimagi

Awsome

It's been years since I have been this excited about a book. Everyone has been writing the same old tiresome pattern. Words of radiance broke the mold. It's well written and exciting, full of amazing twist and turns. This is a must read

BSFan99

Love it

Originally found Sanderson via his work on the Wheel of Time series and liked how he did that. Then read Mistborn books and really enjoyed his unique style of new ways to approach magic in stories. This series does the same. Some think first book starts slow, but when you consider this is going to be a long epic series, I enjoyed all of first 2 books. Characters have depth, but the story carries you along. You may walk a different path for short times, or drop into the past for more depth but you always end up right back on the main path! Now I have to suffer waiting for the next book!!

RRPillage

Great series

As with all of Mr Sanderson's work, he is one of the best character creators in the business. He makes you care about what happens to them. Looking forward to the next!

Creepehunterscrew996

Amazing!

"The Way of Kings" is one of the best books I've ever read, and "Words of Radiance" is an amazing sequel. I cannot wait to read the next book

123antoniogirls

Great Book and Ending

The book was an awesome read. I especially loved the interludes which lead you away from the main story line to only drag you back in. I especially enjoyed the ending with the stab in the eye and bringing back my favorite light-eyed women. Kept me reading and that's saying a lot.

Warkitten122

Engrossing

While starting a bit disjointed, the story quickly became a definite page turner. Good character development makes one feel like they know each character personally. The only negative is I now have to wait for the next installment.

This book is fantastic!

It had been a long while since I read a book for enjoyment and this series has gotten me hooked again! This book had me literally on the edge of my seat many times and I couldn't put it down at all! One of my favorite books I've ever read and this next year before the next book can't pass fast enough! Brandon Sanderson is a fantastic author and this is a fantastic work!

The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives.

Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

Beautiful Buildup to Something Amazing

I love this book with all my heart, the twists and turns along with the masterful storytelling and character development will lead to it's one-day classical status. I plan to read it again in the future!

Perfection

I mean if there’s a book and series to get totally lost in, this is it. Just what I was hoping to find in quarantine and the characters and story are perfection.

Words of Radiance

Excellent book. Hard to put down !

Oodd B Narr

Love it!

Can’t stop praising this series! Love it!

Findaddy16

Awesome!

The way of kings and this book are two of my all-time favorites. Do yourself a favor and read them! God I hope there’s a movie or an HBO series on the Stormlight Chronicles. Great stuff.

Myrhillion

Couldn’t stop reading...

It took a bit to spin up, but then I could not stop reading. Epic follow-up to way of kings, with some closure on a few threads.

Fheter3

Sanderson has done it again!!

Storms! Sanderson Stormblessed has produced a fantastic follow-up to The Way of Kings. I cannot wait to continue the Stormlight Archives. Once again, well done!

kiki8324

One of the best books I’ve ever read

By the time I get near the end, I tried to slow down my reading because I did not want this one to end! If done right this series would make a great TV show.

ROMO.3

Amazing

This novel along with the other books in the Stormlight archive is magnificently captivating, and impossibly complex. I love all of Brandon’s books that are within the Cosmere!

MDoc66

Words of Radiance

Absolutely loved it. It amazes me that the author can keep it all together.

Mista Finn

Ending my frustration

Finally we get what is needed I will say no more it is amazing to grow with our characters

BlufireFPO9

A truly imaginative body of work!

I happened to stumble upon my first book, Way of the Kings and have since just finished Words of Radiance! Both of these books have renewed my love of reading, my love of magic and its possibilities. An incredible journey through a world that continues to amaze. The way in which characters were developed is mind boggling, how each level of joy mixed with pain mixed with acceptance has created an immediate bond to each character through their journey. The journey is exciting and thrilling, a non-stop ride unbridled creativity. I dare not compare these writings to any other series of books similar for fear of downplaying the sheer genius of this body of work. This is what writers dream of writing. If it were possibly I would certainly be seeing Inspirationspren right now! I look forward to the next book the Oathbringer.

tomd181

It’s a slog, but still pretty good

I don’t want to attempt to summarize this book in just a few words, since Sanderson has invented a seriously diverse and complex universe. Mostly, I want to ask if there are ever any editors involved in his process. I have read four of his books now. Each one has had the same issue: the first 80% (and he does not write short novels) will be Sanderson setting up about a million dominoes, many of them with similar names and motives. About the time that you may want to just give up, he knocks over the leading domino, and for the rest of the (many) pages, all hell will break loose. As he works to wrap up the story, which is always just one loooong chapter in an almost endless story, you will be forced to admit that this guy can write! Why isn’t there an editor demanding that he apply some discipline to the first 80%? The good news is that this book is an improvement over the first entry in this saga. The bad news is that he might need TEN books to tell his story. Yikes.

Reddttt

Excellent

Jumped right in after way of kings and diidn't want it to end. Don't know how this will be a movie. They better change their minds and make it a tv series.

David W. Stevens

Not looking forward to the 3rd

I couldn’t put this one down, read it through a long weekend. I’ve been very unproductive since starting it, and had to finish it so I could get back to work.

J76goatboy

If...

If this book was an eggroll, I'd eat it, then order some more

SteeleDistilled

Just too good to put down!

Every chapter that Bounces from one character to the next makes you read 100 more pages just to get back to where it left off, except you feel this way with every character. So amazing!

Fred Gibson

just amazing

i can honestly say that this is one of the best books i've ever read, the world building and character development is perfect, you start to like them and start thinking in terms of their world almost without realizing it. you know it's good when you wish an 1000 plus page book was longer. great book, would recommend to anyone and excited for oathbringer later this year.

MatrixVoom

Genius!

Mr. Sanderson is one of the greatest literary authors of our time, forget this is fantasy. Epic, sweeping, emotional, world building, entertaining.... If this was not in the genre of fantasy, this book would be winning literary awards right and left!

Highness isn't handbag 198

Amazing!!!!!

Somehow, Brandon Sanderson has managed to turn a thousand page textbook into a gripping page turner. The book was exciting, insightful, and philosophical every page.

Be kind reread

So much awesome

I decided to start buying both the hardcover and the digital copies; it is that good that I want access everywhere I can spare the time to read.

Spange2380

Awesome!

I really had a hard time putting this down to go on with my life. Even the innovations in the story were so well written as to inspire creativity in my life. How can there possibly be more? I can't wait to find out.

Mallemaroking

Words of Radiance

Saulito221

Hooked

This picked up where the way of kings left off. Thrilling ride from start to finish. I am hooked and cannot wait for the next one

Double.D

High fantasy

I don't know how he does it. High fantasy always has pitfalls that are common to the genre, and this book (series) doesn't really avoid them all. And yet... I'm still greedy for more. Sanderson just has a natural talent for conveying a sense of hope and heroism, even to cynical b****ds like me. He really gets to you on an emotional level. To neg a little, I could cut out a large portion of non-Kaladin content and still be happy. This doesn't have to be as dense as it is. Nevertheless, 5 stars!

QDog1969

Great Epic Series

With the Stormlight Archive, Sanderson proves that he knows how to weave a fantasy world of epic proportions. The Way of Kings sets the table, leaving you hungry for more. Words of Radiance draws you in deeper, revealing just enough to keep you engaged yet satisfied at the same time. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

MissEricaMichelle

Favorite series

I loved the Stormlight Archive series. It was nothing like I've read before. Sanderson takes you to a new intriguing land. It is easy to connect with his characters and the plot keeps you on your toes encountering new surprises at every turn.

Zeke333

Absolutely Astounding

One of the best books and absolute masterpiece series in the making. Please write faster Sanderson!! Must read!!!!

Redforemanzfoot

Not as good as the first

A step backwards from the first. I spent too much time skipping/skimming chapters in this one. Often Sanderson gets too fond of his own cleverness and it really weighs down the book. Also, his editor most have told him to put in more chapters for women. This also was the downfall of the wheel of time books. Finally, I hate the pretentious trend of putting proverbs/poems at the beginning of each chapter. Please stop.

Potato potato Potato potato

Everything you need in a book

It has everything: fantasy, action/adventure, comedy,etc. But maybe too good of a series. Don't want to wait till 2018 for next book in the series.❤️❤️❤️📕📗😰😰😰😰😰😰📘📘

Keaura Peter

Fantasy Masterpiece

Clearly authorspren are circling around Brandon Sanderson’s head! This is one of the finest examples of fantasy fiction I have ever read. I’m not a witches-and-fairies kind of guy. I prefer my science fiction to be more hard science and I like my fantasy fiction to be deep and intriguing and consistent. The story is hugely compelling and Sanderson’s ability to paint a picture with words is unparalleled. I cannot beg Mr Sanderson enough to complete another book in this fascinating story.

Kevin Showalter

Incredible book (end changed? Noticed 8/24/15?)

Absolutely fantastic plot building, and the characters are very real, believable people. More importantly, they don't really follow normal trends, they are refreshingly new, unique. Love it so much that I reread it often, just to relive the story and notice tidbits I didn't before...but this read through (8/24/15) I noticed a different ending to the battle with Szeth? Am I crazy or does anyone else see that..?

Dissapointed........... :(

Great Storyline

The Stormlight Archive are dangerous for readers like me, because you can’t put them down when you start, and they aren’t small. These are some of the best books (maybe THE best) I have ever read. They are my absolute favorite series, with great action, mystery, and comedy throughout the the whole of it. The story is well rounded with different characters, mini side stories that actually have something to do with the story that also help explain things, and is very entertaining. Keep it up Brandon!

Mr. D flight

Great series

I love the whole thing

Bat013

Amazing read

Challenges a Game of Thrones

There are not enough superlatives to recommend this series. Sanderson is the next Frank Herbert/JRR Tolkien and the equal of Anderson, Martin and Rothfuss. The writing is intelligent and is a great companion to the captivating story-telling style. Character development is consistent and believable and leaves you wanting more. Additionally, unlike a lot within this genre, the plot is not telegraphed at the outset. The twists, turns and surprises are well paced and placed but not overdone. The potential for the rest of the series is limitless. Ideally , Bran will write faster than Martin.

nsgstdnt87

One of the best

Books/Series ever written. Sanderson takes character development to a whole new level in this series. Pay attention to detail, and read it at least twice!

Words of Radiance

Excellent follow up to The Way of Kings. Hope there will be a third book to this series...

Awsome

It's been years since I have been this excited about a book. Everyone has been writing the same old tiresome pattern. Words of radiance broke the mold. It's well written and exciting, full of amazing twist and turns. This is a must read

BSFan99

Love it

Originally found Sanderson via his work on the Wheel of Time series and liked how he did that. Then read Mistborn books and really enjoyed his unique style of new ways to approach magic in stories. This series does the same. Some think first book starts slow, but when you consider this is going to be a long epic series, I enjoyed all of first 2 books. Characters have depth, but the story carries you along. You may walk a different path for short times, or drop into the past for more depth but you always end up right back on the main path! Now I have to suffer waiting for the next book!!

RRPillage

Great series

As with all of Mr Sanderson's work, he is one of the best character creators in the business. He makes you care about what happens to them. Looking forward to the next!

Creepehunterscrew996

Amazing!

"The Way of Kings" is one of the best books I've ever read, and "Words of Radiance" is an amazing sequel. I cannot wait to read the next book

123antoniogirls

Great Book and Ending

The book was an awesome read. I especially loved the interludes which lead you away from the main story line to only drag you back in. I especially enjoyed the ending with the stab in the eye and bringing back my favorite light-eyed women. Kept me reading and that's saying a lot.

Warkitten122

Engrossing

While starting a bit disjointed, the story quickly became a definite page turner. Good character development makes one feel like they know each character personally. The only negative is I now have to wait for the next installment.

This book is fantastic!

It had been a long while since I read a book for enjoyment and this series has gotten me hooked again! This book had me literally on the edge of my seat many times and I couldn't put it down at all! One of my favorite books I've ever read and this next year before the next book can't pass fast enough! Brandon Sanderson is a fantastic author and this is a fantastic work!
