The first book on my summer reading list is Words of Radiance, the sequel to Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings. It’s an epic fantasy novel set in the world of Roshar, a planet ravaged by mystical storms, whose people were abandoned by their arcane defenders generations ago. Now a terrible danger — The Last Desolation — threats the survivors, though few know it.
This is the second in a projected 10 book series, so yeah, it’s a bit of a time commitment. It is good epic fantasy, and fills the void left by the conclusion of the Wheel of Time series (which Sanderson completed for the late Robert Jordan).
