2024 Update:

Words of Radiance still holds true as my favorite book. Having read it in physical form in my initial reading, it still holds the magic in the audio format.

What I love about my first reread of the The Stormlight Archive is all the stuff I missed when I first read it beforehand, including all the amazing foreshadowing Sanderson hides within the lines. In the second book, I love enjoying all the wonderful sequences and having a new experience with a deeper understanding on the Cosmere universe. To see underneath the waterline of the iceberg to find a massive block that continues under the surface with all the worldbuilding and world-hopping lore. God I love everything that comes with this story.
