About this listen

 From the bestselling author who completed Robert Jordan's epic WHEEL OF TIME series comes a new, original creation that matches anything else in modern fantasy for epic scope, thrilling imagination, superb characters and sheer addictiveness.

Return to a planet swept by apocalyptic storms, a world tipping into war as aristocratic families move to control the shard blades and shard plates, ancient artifacts from a past civilisation that can win wars.

As the world tips into a war for control of the mythical artifacts of power made from Shard, characters are swept up into new dangers which will threaten their integrity and their lives.

Huge, ideas-filled, world-spanning fantasy from a master of the genre.©2014 Dragonsteel Entertainment LLC Action & Adventure Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Genre Fiction Historical War & Military Fiction War

Critic Reviews

Sanderson has written a book that seals his spot as one of the greatest fantasy writers
This novel is epic fantasy at its finest
Roshar is a fully realized world . . . Words of Radiance is excellent
Words of Radiance should be the paragon of excellence by which all sequels should hold themselves to
Jaw-droppingly awesome and entertaining
Words of Radiance solidified that Sanderson is one of my all-time favorite writers . . . nothing short of exhilarating

If you loved The Way Of Kings you'll love this one which takes the reader on an even more exciting roller coaster ride.

Another masterpiece

Such a good story, and read really well by the voice actors, my only wish was that hadn't found out about this series until later so all of the story was ready to read! Really looking forward to the next book!!

Can't wait for the next book!

Not as good as the first one in my opinion, missing that sense of familiarity that the members of bridge 4 provided in the first book, but the story gains in speed and becomes way more interesting towards the end also challans ostiry is incredibly boring .

Slow at the start but ends on a riñe note!

I can remember nothing that Kate Reading say’s, it all blends into an unmemorable blur. Such a disappointment after the brilliant narration of book 1 .
