Words Of Radiance Part Two

Great book but there is only one book. I bought the 1328 page book and enjoyed it a lot. Then I saw "Words of Radiance" book 2 part 2. Do not be fooled, that book starts on chapter 52 and is merely the last half of the whole book. Now I have 11/2 "Words of Radiance" books.

This is a great book I couldn't put it down. I also love this author. I recommend him to everyone.

Great, Great, can't wait for 3

Needs ample

Um dos melhores livros que já li.

I completed this an year ago but when I take it and re-read my favourite chapters It still gives me goosebumps. Mindblowing and fast paced when compared to the Way of Kings.Heroic and Fanboy moments can be found in plenty in this book. In fact many rate this as the best book by Sanderson till date.Just go for it!I'm currently waiting for the final book. Don't miss this epic please!

If you love a good story, well written, beautifully woven plot, and complex and relatable characters, this series is a must-read. Brandon Sanderson is one of the best writers of fantasy novels of our time, for sure.

Honestly amazing. I've read both parts back-to-back so I'll do a joint review.Everything is so epic! The stakes get incredibly high, and yet I feel like we've seen nothing yet. I felt literal PAIN during a lot of moments, I had to resist the urge to throw the book across the room and look for spoilers to reassure me. I'm not proud I did that, but this book really overwhelmed me.It took a little bit to get into (part1) but when it picks up, it's a whirlwind.Part2 didn't have a dull moment. I couldn't breathe. I only stopped to drink some water (I was losing too much sweat lol).The characters are amazing and undergo a lot of growth. They mature, and it felt so rewarding to see them evolve so.I fell in love with Adolin, Shallan and Dalinar, whom I really liked in Book1 but hadn't seen enough of to properly form an opinion.Kaladin and Bridge 4 were a pleasure to read about and I absolutely adore them.I am so very excited to read the next one.

The second volume of ‘The Stormlight Archive’ is just as enthralling as the first, if not more so, and continues to develop what has become a thoroughly enjoyable epic.It concentrates on a few characters, following events from their perspectives. Whereas Kaladin was, perhaps, the more major character of ‘The Way of Kings’ there is more emphasis on Shallan in this book. Thus, we find out much more about her life and background and she becomes more instrumental in events. As in ‘The Way of Kings’ much of the content comes from the perspectives of Kaladin and Dalinar. Though Dalinar this time shares some of the limelight with his son, Adolin, who becomes more of a fully rounded character during the course of this novel.There is also still the occasional section/chapter from other perspectives, generally through the various interludes. This includes more from the tormented and dangerous Szeth building upon his portrayal in the previous book, a touch of insight into enigmatic Wit and the introduction of Eshonai to represent Parshendi interests. There is also an interlude that opts to focus upon Taravangian where we learn a lot more about him and his objectives, gaining a slight idea of how he fits into the return of the Knights Radiant.‘Words of Radiance’ continues the superb world building begun in ‘The Way of Kings’. The world of Roshar is further embellished by the continual expansion of its geography and history (both its recent past and ancient myths).Much like the first book, the bulk of the story is still concentrated around the civilisation of Alethkar and its people’s campaign upon the Shattered Plains. However, there are multiple teasing insights into other areas/states of Roshar that certainly leaves the reader wanting to learn more about these fascinating places and how they might eventually work into the greater story of ‘The Stormlight Archive’.As with ‘The Way of Kings’ this is somewhat slower in pace than the bulk of Sanderson’s work as it concentrates on creating an in depth and elaborate world. That’s not to say that ‘Words of Radiance’ doesn’t contain some fantastically written action sequences. The last hundred or so pages are particularly gripping, both in terms of action and in the revelations they provide.The division of the novel into two physical parts in the paperback edition is done at a somewhat better juncture than it was done in ‘The Way of Kings’. Although, it is still apparent that it is a forced rather than natural division, but that can’t really be helped. The second part is, perhaps, the slightly better of the two, probably because its conclusion is a culmination of a lot of what was going on so far in the series.An absolutely entrancing and rewarding novel that, like its predecessor, I’m sure I’ll be re-reading once the final volume of the series is published.
