Words of Radiance

this book had some serious highs! love how sanderson builds up to the epic battles, specifically the big arena showdown and the whole finale in this one. but tbh the book felt pretty bloated overall.

kaladin's still my fave, but some of the earlier chapters with him and adolin and shallan always switching pov are so stormin' infuriating. i get the whole clash-of-personalities thing, but it got old real quick, especially when so many more interesting story elements were glossed over instead.

the world-building still takes my breath away however, and i found myself really falling head over heels for the interludes this time around, such a neat way to expand the wider world as the story rolls on.
