From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance, Book Two of the Stormlight Archive, continues the immersive fantasy epic that The Way of Kings began.
Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status “darkeyes.” Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl.
The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives.
Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

I DO NOT FEEL GOOD 😭 but I couldn’t not open this any longer 👀 Excuse the subpar editing, i’m so tired. But even so, the best part about ordering something months and months from receiving it is getting to be surprised by what you bought yourself 😅 And now I’m going back to bed 📚 @Dragonsteel #wordsofradiance #dragonsteelprime #stormlightarchive #brandonsanderson #unboxing #books #fantasybooks #thewayofkings #bookunboxing #emmaskiesreads

I came across this tag and I thought I would share it with you guys. The tables have definitely turn, because only a few years ago, the only things I was reading was personal development. Can you imagine?

I read 76 books in 2024 and only 7 of them were five star reads! I usually have pretty high standards when it comes to giving out 5 stars. The book has to not only be exceptional in story, characters, and writing, but it also has to make me feel a certain way. And these 7 books did just that!
YA: Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek
Romance: Grimstone by Sophie Lark
Dark Fantasy & Romantasy: The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig (pub May 2025) Servant of Earth by Sarah Hawley
Epic Fantasy: Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne
Let me know your five star reads!
