内容简介
······
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.

评论 ······
难道自己对奇幻已经grown out of it了？完全读不进去。近段时间想多读些non-fictions.
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。
虽然卡拉丁中间圣母病有点墨迹，但最后“天归我，风也归我，我来取你命也”真是帅！爆！了！就原谅他好了。另外我想说。。。沙兰俺の嫁（痴汉脸）
角色面目可憎，情节发展极为拖沓，常靠马丁时刻推动。不但苏还TMD苦大仇深杨过苏，以新的不平等反平等，为基本道德问题心理斗争整本书。除了纠结痛苦之后变圣人，BS不会写别的性格和成长方式。Adolin刚轻松一点就被厌弃，边缘化甚至有黑化可能，简直要因为同情而喜欢。Kadadin和Shallan陈词滥调，爱情观从AMOL的极端发展到偏见和歧视。多亏了BS现在想到灵魂伴侣心心相印会恶心。越看就越觉着，我家…
