📚How Did I Come Across This Book?
As I mentioned in my review of The Way Of Kings, I was introduced to Brandon Sanderson via the Mistborn series a few years ago. I absolutely loved that story, The Stormlight Archive was another story that I was told rivalled Mistborn for some of Brandon Sanderson’s best work. I picked up Words of Radiance because I had just finished The Way Of Kings and felt compelled to keep going with this incredible story.
🏆 My Verdict
Words of Radiance is incredible. Like The Way Of Kings before it, I’d have to give It a 10/10... I might be the worst book reviewer out there but I honestly think that if the series continues in this way every book in this series will likely be a 10/10 in my eyes! If you haven’t read The Way Of Kings yet, read that, then read this.
