About this listen
Book two of the Stormlight Archive.
From the best-selling author who completed Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time series comes an original new creation that matches anything else in modern fantasy for epic scope, thrilling imagination, superb characters and sheer addictiveness. Return to a planet swept by apocalyptic storms, a world tipping into war as aristocratic families move to control the shard blades and shard plates, ancient artifacts from a past civilisation that can win wars.
As the world tips into a war for control of the mythical artifacts of power made from Shard, characters are swept up into new dangers which will threaten their integrity and their lives. Huge ideas-filled, world-spanning fantasy from a master of the genre.

Cant wait to listen to the final chapter
I have totally enjoyed listening to this story and cannot wait to buy the final chapter. Sanderson"s mastery of creating a complete world to place his heroes in is amazing, I feel I have found my author, at least for the next 10 books.

great book
absolutely love the book and the series. you have to get use to the narrator voice as it could be hard to understand at the start.
would be fantastic if I could buy the audiobook in polish.

Excellent all round
the stormlight archive is one of the greatest pieces of modern fantasy in production, and this book does not drop the ball.
Kramer and Reading both add a huge amount to the story in their own way,. Having read the book before this was a fantastic narration with plenty more to offer than my initial read.

Epic
It's like the branches of streams all coming together for an excellent climax. Worth the huge length of the book.

Storm father she blushed
Parts of this story I loved, truly felt I was on an epic journey of wonder and a fantasy story with huge consequences.
Other parts made me want to throw it out the car window.
I feel it needs more adult and grit in the story. They talk about curses and being crude but the only thing anyone says is storms or storm father and my god everyone seems to blush all the time.
Everyone is just too proper, even the slaves and murders.
I did enjoy this but it seems like a PG13 story that's just not allowed to be anymore rude, crude, graphic, gritty, evil or just say a real swear word.
I mean if the only swear word anyone says is storms wouldn't you think there would be loads of variance. I'll kill to here someone called a storm hole.

I could not stop reading!!
I’m not a very emotive person and the only times yell out loud with enthusiastic joy is when Wales score a try!
I screamed for joy twice while reading this book. I won’t tell you where or why because I would encourage you to read it for yourself and then you will be able to guess which parts evoked such an outburst.
I don’t think I have ever become so invested in characters I’ve read about in a book. I keep talking to my wife about them as if they were buddies of mine and she thinks I’m nuts.
If this is the only fantasy series you are going pick up, I promise you won’t want to put it down. I have already started book 3 and it picks up exactly where book 2 finished.
Can’t say enough good things about this series, just read it!!
