Words of Radiance is Brandon Sanderson’s newest novel, the second book in his epic fantasy series, The Stormlight Archives. I put it on hold at the Milford Library several weeks ago but then broke down and bought it for the Kindle app the day it came out. I finally finished reading every one of the thousand-plus pages in a long, rather frantic reading session Wednesday night, so that I then had to sit down and read the ending again on Thursday morning, and yup… I’ve been trying to figure out what the Hell I just read ever since.

I’m going to try to keep my thoughts on the book spoiler-free, but only for Words of Radiance. This edition of Five Things on a Friday assumes you’ve read at least most of the way through The Way of Kings.
If you haven’t, go do that now. Then come back and read this.
