Publisher's Summary:

"Three times I've compiled those damned lists, and I'm running out of names. But he still wants more. More souls for his experiments. More lives to be wasted in the pursuit of this vain, useless, futile hunt!"

First Magus Vordegh's maniacal obsession to destroy the heretic cult of Order was running out of control. As the atrocities grew and the gods remained indifferent to pleas for sanity, the convictions of even Chaos' most devoted servants were starting to disintegrate. Faith seemed meaningless; trust impossible. The world was going mad.

Benetan Liss' faith was cruelly tested by the part he was forced to play in Vordegh's savage reprisals. But the choice was stark: obedience or death, there was no third way. Or so he believed, until one violent event brought him into direct conflict with the heretics - and the unearthly source of their power.

Title: Words of Radiance

Subtitle: The Stormlight Archive, Book 2

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Narrator: Michael Kramer, Kate Reading

Format: Unabridged

Length: 48 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-04-14

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 35765 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

The Stormlight Archive sequence began in 2010 with the New York Times best seller 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 Assassins 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. Listen to that book and then Words of Radiance, and you can be part of the adventure every dazzling step of the way.

Members Reviews:

Book !!; no let down- "Words of Radieance" shines

In the first book, The Way of Kings, we were introduced to the world of Roshar. It is a world of magic and aliens where hurricane-like storms lay savage to the world every few days and all of its inhabitants must adapt their lives accordingly. It is a world at war between the human armies led by High prince Dalinar Kholin and the Parshendi, a humanoid species. We were introduced to Jasnah, who is a renowned scholar and the niece of the High Prince Dalinar Kholin, her student Shallan, and Kaladin, a slave that by the end of Way of Kings is beginning to become the worlds first Knights Radiance in centuries.

If you havent read/listened to The Way of Kings, I would strongly recommend that you do before going on to this second book, Words of Radiance.

Title: Blood Soup

Author: Kelly A. Harmon

Narrator: Edoardo Camponeschi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-14

Publisher: Kelly A. Harmon

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

King Theodicar of Borgund needed an heir. When his wife, Queen Piacenza, became pregnant, he'd hoped for a boy. His wife, along with her nurse, Salvagia, had other plans. With each cast of the runes, Salvagia's trusted divination tools yielded the same message: "A girl child must rule or the kingdom will fall to ruin." As such, the women were convinced that the child would be a girl. When the queen finally gives birth, the nurse and the king are equally surprised.

The king is faced with a terrible choice, and his decision will determine the fate of his kingdom. Will he choose wisely, or will he doom Borgund to ruin?

Members Reviews:

Great for a quick fantasy fix.

Salvagia give the feel of magic to the story with her fortune telling bones mixed with blood. When overly pregnant Queen Piacenza asks, again, to cast the bones to answer her question - What will this child need to rule wisely and justly? The bones cast the same answer, over and over again. Piacenza is convinced by the answer she will have a girl child, but King Theodicar wants a boy. A boy is always the one to rule the kingdom, not girls. A boy is born - Amalric, but at a cost...

Blood Soup was a quick read for me with only 79 pages. The story touches on different point of views in Amalric's and Theodicar's lifes, as Amalric grows up and takes the thrown. In these short snippets you see what kind of person Amalric is and did with the crown. And you see how Theodicar rethinks his decisions. Is there any way for King Theodicar to correct his wrong that set his kingdom down the path its on?

I enjoyed this quick read. There was a dark feel to the magic of Blood Soup to me... the blood. I had a moment of getting use to the transition of Amalric suddenly being older, as I didn't know what to expect while reading when I started the book. This is a great start for Kelly. I am looking forward to reading novels by her in the future.

Quick and Pleasurable

Imagine you're a King and need an heir. Which sex would you choose and why? King Theodicar insists upon a male to inherit the throne, yet his wife, heavy with child, is convinced that only a girl child can save the kingdom from ruin. Her nurse throws the "runes" many times, and each ends with the prediction that the birth will produce a daughter.

How would you feel giving birth in an arena of onlookers, there to validate the authencity of the child? When the Queen is near death, nurse Salvagia requests the room be empty of all but the King so she can successfully save the babe who is breech. Imagine the duo's surprise when twins are delivered from the mother's dead body. One is weaker than the other, which would you save?

Blood Soup is a quick read that leaves you wanting more pages to turn. But, there is plenty packed into this short story. Will the King regret his decision? What of the nurse the King believes to be a witch? What role exactly does blood soup play in the story? And do people really eat that stuff?

The author writes with great descriptions and makes you wince at the pain and pucker at the thought of tasting blood, but often the reader may feel lost--not knowing how much time has passed until you've worked your way into the chapter and surmised the heir is now twenty when yesterday the child was but a toddler.

Please Pay for Editorial Services Next Time....

Basically unreadable. I did not finish this book.

The quality of the writing was significantly below par. Short, choppy sentences. Grammar issues everywhere. I found myself having to reread sentences to figure out what they meant.

Long, long descriptive passages that seem to have NO point. 182 words to describe a barn setting that is irrelevant to the story line and is IN the story line for only two pages. Scene-setting language is fine--but it should be useful or relevant to the narrative in some way.

There's nothing unique about the character and the language used to familiarize the reader with them tends to cliche in the extreme, e.g., "She was stunning, black-haired and slender with the most astonishingly beautiful face he had ever seen." Scenes are banal, characters are colorless, narrative is choppy. I read almost anything, but couldn't finish this.

Typical fantasy novel. More romance than dragons.

There was way more romance than fighting a dragons it was clearly the story of two characters falling in love for most of the book. This did not make it a bad thing but I did feel like I could predict everything that was going to happen.

Three Stars

I read three chapters and still didn't care at all. Didn't finish.

Review: Moth and Spark: A Novel

Moth and Spark drew me in from the very beginning. A strong prince, a clever woman, dragons, and a strange destiny bringing them all together in the midst of a war to save their country. Very cleverly plotted and well written. I am looking forward to Anne Leonard's next books.

not much fantasy, irritating writing ... just awful!

DNFed.

Reason number one:

Apart from the prologue and some vague mentions about Dragons and lost magic, there is no magic / fantasy in this story. Instead you are treated to a highly unconvincing historical, pseudo-medieval romance with insta-love and some such. This was really not what I expected or anticipated.

Reason number two:

The annoying female main character. Tam. Never thought I would write this ever about anyone but she is so perfect, that I had an insta-hate moment there. She is not only âstunning, (â) with the most astonishingly beautiful face he had ever seenâ, she is also totally unaware of her attractive looks and an epitome of womanly virtue.

"She was a well-bred and well-educated young woman, even an accomplished one. She spoke three languages besides her own and could draw, sing, play the piano, and do embroidery, all of it inoffensively.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Nomad Queen to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but the audio version was EXCELLENT!

I love the heroine of the story. Sheela is a strong, smart female lead.

What about Cheri Caffaros performance did you like?

I love Cheri's storytelling ability. Her voice is almost haunting- its the perfect fit for a story of this caliber.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was hooked from the very beginning of the book where we are first introduced to Sheela after the devastating battle with the Rhobians.
