Rated Words of Radiance 10/10

I'M DONE. FINALLY. <br/><br/>This book was my white whale this year, it took me so long get through and I almost didn't finish in 2020. I really enjoyed it though! <br/><br/>If you liked the Way of Kings then you'll also really enjoy this one. The cast of characters is amazing, there really isn't a single person that was a drag to read about. The story also keeps an excellent pace and actually ties up a number of lose ends from the first book.<br/><br/>The only issue with Words of Radiance is essentially what was "wrong" with The Way of Kings: it throws a ton of lore at you and you need to be okay with not knowing what the big picture is. Once you're invested in the characters and their adventures you'll be pulled through the bits that don't make sense or maybe go over your head.<br/><br/>Damn, this really was a great book!
