While The Way of Kings can be called Kaladin’s book, Words of Radiance is Shallan’s. Words of Radiance took every element which I loved in the first book and enhanced it beyond my imagination.Ĭharacter development remains at the forefront of the narrative. If you have read my love letter to The Stormlight Archive, you would know that I pretty much adore everything about The Way of Kings – the characterisation, the worldbuilding, and even the minimal plot progression, given the significant portion of the book dedicated to the former. Words of Radiance should be the paragon of excellence by which all sequels should hold themselves to as it was the best second book of a series that I’ve ever read. Jesting aside, the title of the book does pretty much sum up the magnificence of this sequel to The Way of Kings.
