The Stormlight Archive sequence began in 2010 with the New York Times bestseller The Way of Kings. Now, the eagerly anticipated Words of Radiance continues the epic story and answers many of your questions.

Six years ago, the Assassin in White, a hireling of the inscrutable Parshendi, assassinated the Alethi king on the very night a treaty between men and Parshendi was being celebrated. So began the Vengeance Pact among the highprinces of Alethkar and the War of Reckoning against the Parshendi.

Now the Assassin 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.

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.

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.

The doors of the Stormlight Archive first opened to us with The Way of Kings. Read that book – now available in all formats – and then Words of Radiance, and you can be part of the adventure every dazzling step of the way.

读后感

布兰登·桑德森写于2014年3月3日 译自：http://torforgeblog.com/2014/03/03/words-of-radiance-and-the-fantasy-epic/ 写在前面 我大致可以肯定，梅拉尼·罗恩（Melanie Rawn）写的《龙王子》（Dragon Prince）是我读过的第一本奇幻大部头。要知道我小时候并不喜欢阅读，所以...  

“I will protect even those I hate … So long as it is right.” - Kaladin Stormblessed WOW! W-O-W! I am astounded. Flabbergasted. Shocked. Blown away in every way imaginable. So many amazing things happened in this book, that it is impossible not to love to...

用户评价

不负期待！Roshar大家族又上演了一出绝好的戏码！坐等卷三！！！

桑德森真是很会写激动人心的情节，上一本和这本结局都达到了完美高潮。非常厚道，原以为应是整个故事的大招居然早早的在卷二就来了。一些原本让我觉得“花哨”的设定有了更多更实际的意义，卡拉丁线有削弱，沙兰线有增强，总体人物更饱满，故事更好看。喜欢插曲部分，整个世界铺展开的感觉很棒。桑德森毕竟不是马丁，虽然情势写得很严峻，但一点都不让人觉得绝望，反而是各种鸡血般的充满希望。整个大陆有这么多“以天下为己任”的人，虽然他们肯定会发生矛盾，但也是充满希望的明证。

Alight winds approach deadly approaching winds alight. 这五部分的标题太形象了。卷二信息量比卷一多了很多，桑德森牛逼，但愿别成为第二个拖稿王马胖

桑德森的情节与设定都是强项，而莎兰和卡拉丁的人物形象逐渐变得丰满可信，弥补了前作的遗憾。

o yeah... first time woke up at 6 for the release of a book...看完了，爽死了，感觉节奏掌控比上一本好，但最后有一些转变有些突然啊…
