The End of the Journey

 

Greetings Dear Readers

 


Welcome to the end! To summarize the army set out on the shattered plains with Adolin, Dalinar and Shallan leading the army. Kaladin has to stay at the war camps due to his injury when he fought the Chasmfiend whilst falling into a chasm. Once the army arrives at the center of the plains they meet the Parshendi army who have acquired Stormform. This allows them to summon red lightning as well as a new devastating Highstorm known as the Everstorm. The battle commences and once the Alethi discover these new abilities Shallan is tasked to discover the Oathgate and transport the entire army in retreat in case they can not defeat the Parshendi and do not become decimated by the Everstorm. 

 


Kaladin finally reunites with Syl and acquires his abilities again, healing himself. With that he joins the battle where he meets with his ‘nemesis’ Szeth and an epic battle commences between the two, a battle of the skies. After defeating Szeth, Kaldin returns to the ground, finding the army gone and the destruction the Everstorm has left. Later it is revealed that Shallan found the Oathgate and the army is safe. 

 


At Urithiru the characters reunite where Dalinar communicates with the Stormfather, bonding with him to become a KNights Radiant with the powers of bonds. Whilst exploring the tower Adolin meets Sadeas where he brutally and unexpectedly kills Sadeas. Meanwhile Szeth recovered and acquired Nightblood, the cursed sword from another novel Warbreaker from a mysterious man. Jasnah is revealed to be alive somewhat and is traveling through the Cognitive Realm with Hoid.

 



All in all I loved Words of Radiance and was a truce successor to The Way of Kings. I am definitely hooked on the Stormlight series and can’t wait to carry on through the Cosmere.

The Interludes of the Words of Radiance.

 The Great Interludes of the Words of Radiance:   Greetings Dear Readers,   As you know between each Part within the Stormlight Archives there are Interludes spanning roughly 80 pages each. In each Interlude we experience many different, supporting, character’s points of view. These small ‘chapters’ give us, the readers, a completely different understanding of the plot, the world and there are even some easter eggs referencing other books within the Cosmere universe. And my my, are these Interludes good at doing just that!   First let's talk about one of the most important characters portrayed in the I nterludes: Eshonai. Eshonai is the main Parshendi leader that our protagonists fight. She, in the eyes of the Kaladin and Dalinar, is the main villain as not only is she the enemy since she is Parshendi but she is also a Shardbearer. She is so cool. She is the only character that is carried over throughout each Interlude and so we learn lots about her and ...

Progressing through: The Words of Radiance Part 3

Greetings Dear Readers,    Welcome back readers, and do we have some stuff to discuss! The banter and flirtatious energy between Adolin, Kaldain and Shallan is undeniable. Knowing Brandon Sanderson it is unlikely he incorporates a three-way relationship into his novels let alone any romance at all, however, he is definitely writing these three characters in a very specific way, if you know what I mean (*wink* *wink*). Shallan has finally restarted her research and is trying to find the secrets of Urithiru and its hidden location. She sets this plan out by trying to locate Urithiru or an Oathgate (a gate that is somehow connected to Urithiru) in the Shattered Plains. She does this by using her Lightweaving and Patterns new lockpicking abilities to spy on Amaram's estate. There she finds a detailed map of the Shattered Plains. Personally I am really starting to love Shallan’s character, she encompasses so many different aspects of this fantasy world. She is of privilege ...
