The Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson is an excellently written book. Amazing, deep characters, beautiful story, and an awesome system of magic to boot. This is my favorite book by my favorite author and I definitely recommend it. The story follows many different characters, but features the bridgeman Kaladin prominently. In takes place in the kingdom of Alethkar, a kingdom at war with a tribe of people called the Parshendi that killed their king. Kaladin discovers that he can do some pretty amazing things with a substance known as stormlight. He can walk on walls and fly and has a magical sword fairy friend. I could actually talk about this book for hours and still not
cover everything. The author uses all 5 senses to help you really feel like you’re in the story. From the brilliant description of the brightly colored shardplate to the smell of the Shattered Plains, this book really excites the senses. This book left a great impression on me. It shows that anyone can become great, even a lowly slave. That is why I truly love this brilliant book.
