I hear this all the time at my night shift security job just put of nowhere ill just hear a car with no muffler from a mile away or some bad rap music. WHY?!?! WHATS THE POINT

So someone told me this was the worst, and yeah, you can tell. The character work is better, and Murphy and Harry's partnership is getting more development. Harry is getting to be a pretty humorous POV, but I REALLY don't like that Marcone showed up again. He's not a bad antagonist, but his showing immediately after getting defeated in the previous book just makes him feel like Plankton trying to steal the formula, a villain of the week. It would have been fine if he were there as a cameo, but no, he has a part to play in the story, and it felt watered down. I love the distinction between the different werewolves, and I love that it could be amazing and deep, maybe not Tolkien-deep but deep; the mystery was intriguing. Also, Denton, what a douche. The action scenes in this were stellar, and it felt like reading Red Rising, both in good and bad ways, like sometimes the action was so good it felt like it was all there was and not the mystery. The writing is still pretty amateurish, but I can see the gold in this series, like the humorous throwaway lines and the action scenes, especially (wolf Harry vs. Denton wolf), and Denton being the big bad. It's there, but bogged down with too much action and amateur writing.

Prologue

​

Oh jasnah how i simp for you.

​

Epilogue

​

Is he just speaking this to nothing.

I fucking knew it she was never dead.

Wait jasnah is a shardbearer

And she some how went to another realm

Urutheriu not the right way. Acording to jasnah

Starting with the opening sequence, I thought it was the right choice to make Shallan the character with the flashback chapters. Maybe this is just me, but I felt like Kaladin had the stronger of the two main plotlines, even though Shallan clearly had the focus in this book. That said, the action scenes in Words of Radiance are much, much better than anything The Way of Kings had. Two big examples are Adolin’s duel at the end of Part Three and the attempted assassination in the middle of the book, where Dalinar catches the damn Blade. Then there’s Kaladin and Szeth’s duel in the sky.

I don’t know if it’s me or if it’s a RAFO situation, but I don’t love Sanderson’s plot twists. The biggest example is Kaladin learning that he killed Shallan’s brother. My reaction was more, “Oh, who would’ve thought?” Maybe it’ll come back later, but I have a feeling it won’t. On the other hand, you get retroactive plot twists that completely reframe the prior narrative, like Shallan killing her mother in self-defense. I thought that was a great twist. Then you get the talking sword, which apparently is connected to Warbreaker, and a side character in Words of Radiance turns out to be a main character from that book. After reading it, I was just standing there like, “WHA??”

I also appreciated Dalinar taking a backseat and functioning more as a side character in this book. In the first book, I had a lot of problems with him and his chapters. Outside of the visions, they were often boring and uninteresting. Here, though, his PTSD feels like it actually progresses. As for Shallan, I expected this book to make me love her more, but it felt like she stayed mostly the same. I’m hoping she and the Ghostbloods get expanded upon in future books, especially since I’ve heard the Ghostbloods are a big deal in the Cosmere.

What I didn’t like was that the book felt like it was set up to be Shallan’s story, but ultimately shifted toward Kaladin. The ending was awesome, but it doesn’t compare to the climax of a full character arc. Shallan still has one, but it was never going to compete with Kaladin’s. The side characters and villains took a big step up. Lopen, Moash, Szeth, and Eshonai were huge upgrades. Adolin getting a POV was like speed-running Galad’s arc in Wheel of Time. At first, he seemed like your average cocky Jaime Lannister type, but he transformed into a much better character. And Renarin, not the king himself, becoming a Knight Radiant just puts a smile on this autistic boy’s face.

So I just wrapped up words of radiance and my only questions is why is there a talking sword. Not only a talking shardblade that

​

"Hello would you like to destroy some evil today"

​

So i guess szeth has a maybe evil sword that can speak to him. Is this some weird magic shit or some cosmere Easter egg
