Words of Radiance is nearly as good as Way of Kings … and it’s even longer. Brandon Sanderson’s magnum opus turns its focus to Shallan Davar while still incorporating its other major characters: Kaladin, Szeth, Dalinar, etc., in interesting ways.
At this point I would expect people to have read Brandon Sanderson’s other books, or at least Way of Kings. So his strengths and flaws as a writer should be known to the reader. On the upside, there’s great worldbuilding, a great magic system, and an action fueled plot. On the downside, their are struggles with developing varied character personalities, dialogue, and prose. Nevertheless these negative issues, although irritating, don’t undermine the story. Words of Radiance is an excellent sequel that should please fans of the series that had to wait four years for it.
