Words of Radiance, Brandon Sanderson (4.5)
At 1500 pages, this is one of the longest books I’ve read in a while, my only complaint is that it ended in the middle of the climatic battle! Apparently, there are 10 books planned in this series, with 4 already written. This book is very interesting with a lot of movement of the plot and further character development. It’s hard to come up with new ideas in the fantasy/world building genre, but Mr. Sanderson has done just that. While the first book in the series could have easily been 200-300 pages shorter, this volume didn’t waste any pages- lots of action and forwarding of the story as the main characters find out more and more about what changes are happening in themselves and in their world. I don’t think you can skip the first book, but for those interested in a refreshing fantasy book with new concepts, this series is one of the best.
