Great 2nd read of Words of Radiance! Sanderson's world definitely holds up! I am ready for the experience to continue. On to Oathbringer!

2016 Review:

Words of Radiance is the spectacular 2nd book in Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive. If you’re looking for an epic fantasy series, the Stormlight Archive is it! The world of Roshar keeps getting bigger and bigger (and, at the same time, more interesting). Words of Radiance picks up right where Way of Kings ended, and like the first book it is a fun and satisfying journey. The book will answer many of the questions you had after finishing Way of Kings while, of course, raising completely new questions. I’ve already reread this monster of a book (1,087 pages), but I’ll need to be patient. Some questions need to remain unanswered, I suppose, at least until I get to Oathbringer!

Pamela Thanks for the review! Sanderson is amazing, but I've been wondering whether I should dive in or not because the books are so enormous, and if I start a book, I finish it before moving on to anything else. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the series and look forward to reading it soon!


Lonna | FLYLēF Such an amazing series! I've enjoyed every one of his books.


J.L.   Sutton My advice would be to dive in to this series. It's worth it! And yes, this is an amazing series!


J.L.   Sutton Oathbringer in November 2017! Will Arcanum Unbounded hold me until then? Only one way to find out!


Andreas How did this come up in your updates? Did you re-read it? They are such doorstoppers. Imagine to read through the series whenever a new volume is released.

I read through previous reviews and make some updates whenever I post a new review. That keeps me connected to books I've already read and helps me think about what I'm going to read (or reread) next. Thanks Andreas!


AndrewP Looks like you will be able to read Edgedancer and Oathbringer just in time for the release of Rhythm of War :)

I've been enjoying the reads but my timing is a little off. I know Sanderson has now completed Rhythm of War, but I think I will finish reading everything and still have a few months to wait. Thanks AndrewP!
