Words of Radiance - 5 Stars!

Having finished volume two of the Stormlight Archive I am even more impressed with Brandon Sanderson as an author.  This book drew me in from the beginning and held me in a state of concern or frustration depending upon the character and their decisions.   There are many things that change over the course of this book especially for Kaliden and Shalan, both are now closer than ever to becoming what they must become to become true Knights Radiant.   The whole story is one with many twists and turns.  That will bring you face to face with the past and the ramifications of the decisions that people make.  The changes are too many to break out into a list at this moment and given that the book hasn't been out for a month yet I will not toss spoilers out.  I will simply say you need to read this book!  It is absolutely worth the time you will put into getting through this tale of despair, triumph, agony, pleasure and discovery.

The Way of Kings

The re-listen to The Way of Kings has Begun in anticipation of Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson.    Forty-five hours total massive and filled with twists and questions yet unanswered it still is interesting the second time through.  I should finish right around the  March 3rd releases date.

Kaliden is my favorite character of this series so far.  His story is compelling and holds deep emotional currents.   His relationship with Sil is the only thing holding him at one point which makes the tale all the more interesting.

Tavia Gilbert is Wonderful!

My wife and I have be thoroughly enjoying the rich diverse range of Tavares Gilbert narrate the Night Huntress series over the last month.   It was such a pleasure and so vivid that when one ended we had to go buy the next novel in Janenne Frost's well written tale about Kat and Bones.  We spent money that is normally use on Redbox movies to utilize the Amazon Whispersync deals to get the next installment of the tale and our enjoyment was always increased by Tavia's intense emotional demonstrated as she wove the words into a compelling adventure of increasing interest.

This is an audiobook series that is well worth the time and money.  It is not without its thorns but that is my take on the need to skip the one obligatory scene of smoldering sex.  Which the author gratefully contains in one easy to skip chapter for those of us who don't need a bedroom seen for such marital activities!   Reguardless, the story is compelling and listening is pure joy with moments filled by other emotions tempered and flavored by the experience of Tavia reverberating in you ears!
