Words of Radiance | In-Depth Summary

[@CapturedInWords]

This massive video took a lot of work, but I hope you all enjoy! Leaving a comment and liking the video really helps give it a boost in the algorithm which helps a lot! 😁

[@MARYCALLOWAY-s4u]

Thank you for your service.

[@leaves2975]

Just finished! Enjoyed it quite a bit. Hoping for Oathbringer and RoW before December 6th XD no pressure!

[@davemurdock55]

I know why you’ve been putting so much effort into this video. Because the Stormlight Archive is one of the best book series of all time and Words of Radiance is my favorite book in it and arguably one of the best of the series 🤷‍♂️

[@StevenRojas-e3e]

I got side tracked between WOR and Oathbringer. Took a long while in between. Finally picked up Oathbringer recently. Started reading and felt a little lost. This video saved my bacon from a massive re-read. As I listened all the little details came back to me. You did a fantastic job in the recap. I truly appreciate the effort.

[@thesunshineseekers]

Believe me when I say Jay’s been working on this video everyday all day for at least a month. Above and beyond is an understatement!!!

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Hey Katie. Did you two get married yet? If so hope it was everything you dreamed of. Congrats you two.🙂

[@thesunshineseekers]

⁠@@stephentheshywarrior2759 We did! 🤭 Thank you so much! It was wonderful…& you’ll get to see it someday 💖 Jay’s been teaching me how to edit so I’m planning a BIG Sunshine Seekers comeback in the new year! 😉

@@thesunshineseekerscongratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@yassinemiri3555]

Congratulations 🎉👏

[@fantasyfanatic6038]

This video is as long as Dune: Part Two. Let that sink in. Hats off to you Jay for your dedication!

[@thesunshineseekers]

😮

[@libraryofaviking]

This might be the most ambitious booktube video I have seen. Captured in Words is an absolute legend!!

[@MaryRose86]

The fact that he dropped this and just surprised us is literally the best thing

[@bubthefirst1031]

He DID it...and its nearly three hours long, no wonder it took so long! That just means more to enjoy, though!

[@ivar85]

A fantastic summary! What a job you have done! I have never donated or commented on a youtube-video before, but now I just had to. This is just what we needed before Wind and truth. Looking forward to your Oathbringer and Rhythm-videos! Thank you, and greetings from Norway.

[@CapturedInWords]

Wow, thank you! It makes me happy to see how appreciated these videos are and I hope they can be a helpful resource for everyone wanting to get back into the series but who may not have time to reread the books (or just want to relive them while picking up on all the small easter eggs). The Oathbringer summary is now up and I'm starting on the rhythm of War summary now 😄 Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the support!

[@ivar85]

@@CapturedInWords Well deserved! The Oathbringer-video is already devoured, and that was fantastic too. Insane quality, man. Keep it up :D btw - the book you recommended some time ago - Between two fires - is my favourite book of the year. Thank you for making all of this content. You and Daniel Greene have re-ignited my love for books in a big way!

[@girumf1512]

No book tuber in the WORLD makes this much effort

[@Truffle_Pup]

No way.... He Did it! He Actually Did It!!!!! WOWEE! I can't believe it's been 5 years! This is so unexpected but hugely welcome! The fact he's planning on dropping OB and RoW before WaT is released! I forgot how much I enjoyed the animations and art you use. Incredible stuff Jay!

[@mateszepessy8661]

Totally agreed, I think you spoke for all of us!

[@nis_gia]

I cant believe or see how the rest will come before wot but even if they don't leta give credit where it's due, this was amazing as you said as well

[@benjaminr7252]

With this summary, you have truly set yourself apart from all other booktube channels. Big congratulations on the release and thank you!

[@potheadzebra]

Couldn’t agree more this stands above and beyond any other recap. Had more fun watching this than some major motion pictures of late!

[@vbdoesit]

I don’t have the time to reread the whole series before Wind and Truth so your work is much appreciated!

[@Marky556]

Thanks Jay for what you did for us. I know it must be a lot of work for you. Just want to say thank you. 🙏

[@CapturedInWords]

I appreciate that a lot! Thank you very much for the superchat! Working on the Rhythm of War summary now 😄

[@XxevidencexX]

I feel so lucky to have just finished WoR and come across this relatively new and thorough video!

[@madmattphoto]

Absolutely perfect video. Just finished reading WoR and wanted to catch all the connections but without spoiling the books ahead. Thank you so much

[@CapturedInWords]

Awesome to hear!! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@TheGedle]

I literally finished Words of Radiance yesterday and ran to KZbin to see if you've made a video about it only to find this gem. We don't deserve you!

[@DanChandler13]

Generally I don't tend to comment on any video, but you deserve as much exposure for this as possible! Can't begin to thank you enough, really appreciate the additional hidden details and cosmere easter eggs. You need a sponsor on the next ones, this amount of work deserves compensation!

[@cleanstitches]

I just finished Words of Radiance yesterday, and I immediately searched to see if you had continued on with this series. This is great timing! I’m sure this is no small effort, thank you! If I could like this 100 times I would 😂

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it's helpful 😊 I'm working on the Oathbringer summary now and should have it up by the end of the month

[@supermayo8a]

NO SPONSOR? YOU ARE A LEGEND! Thank you for this

[@KaoticKaden]

Love of the game

[@TristenCanaday]

Ok, I LITERALLY JUST finished this book last night and KZbin shows me this. Timing is amazing

[@michaelvickery7390]

The mad man did it. He actually did it. The long awaited sequel to the legendary way of kings summary!!! Now when is the Oathbringer video dropping??? Lolllll

[@silverx_1848]

Next month 😊

[@jaysee2696]

This put this BookTuber in a league by himself. Wow. What a recap! I watched the whole video. I don't have the ability to keep up with all the content for Stormlight between releases. A huge thank you from the U.S.

[@vaughnwiberg4489]

Randomly opened youtube just now. It's like this video called out to me. Thanks for the work Jay, this will be a must watch!

[@Reikun]

Oh my Stormfather! I just completed this book a few weeks back and wondered why you hadn't made an in-depth summary for book 2 in over 5 years. Thank you for making this video!

[@Playatoma]

Been waiting for this one!!! Take all the time you need, but this is so clutch for someone who doesn't have the time to reread the books before Wind and Truth! Great job on this dude!

[@joepalkovic]

I really appreciate this. Saved me from having to go back and reread these enormous books prior to reading book 5.

[@FoddAlmighty]

Amazing summary video. Cant wait for Oathbringer and Rhythm.

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks so much! Oathbringer summary is now up and I'm starting on the Rhythm of War one :)

[@EE-bg1de]

Having just finished Rhythm of War a few weeks ago, all set for the last one, nothing is easier to click on than seeing a video entitled, "Words of Radiance." - My book club, one of the taglines is: "The Knights radiant, have returned." It's in my top 10 of all time.

[@BDTMack]

Fantastic video! Thank you for all your hard work in recapping this series so well!

[@CapturedInWords]

Thank you very much!

[@anuragsabath8335]

I have been recommending your way of kings recap video everywhere, ever since I first saw it. The amount of work you did for that recap just blew me away. This looks like 3 times the effort of that one. Kudos to you. I was thinking of just starting with the preview chapters without any recap, but now that I know that you are gonna put out these summaries before the release, i am going to wait and watch all the summaries and then start with Wind and Truth

[@patrickbaynes29]

The most underrated channel I have ever seen

[@Highstormsports]

If someone says someone other than jay is the best KZbinr you show them this video. Great work like always

[@CapturedInWords]

Haha thanks! I appreciate that! 😊

[@ColbyStackhouse-k5m]

Just finished your WOK summary and I'm so excited to see this one is up!!! These are a lifesaver for me as I prep for book 5 this week, thank you for your attention to detail and hard work in putting these together!

[@tonimcgovern_x]

I watch these before moving onto the next book to make sure I have fully understood everything. This video clearly took so much work, thank you!

[@paramkore1101]

Thank the Almighty Shallan was saved by the Waygon. Love the Canadian/midwest accent on that word

[@m_chupon5131]

I'd say this was the right amount of depth, thanks for the recap! I'm refreshing my memory for when the next book arrives

[@chinlex9224]

Commenting for the algorithm, thank you for the summary and all your efforts!

[@MarcusExplainsStuff]

This was so damn good, worth the wait. Honestly as a fan of Kingkiller Chronicle I thought you made this video rather quickly

[@buiItnotbought]

I will be as patient as a stone.... A decade later... I have been as patient as two stones!!

[@GoldenYoshi88]

This looks legendary! Thank you for piecing this all together!

[@Lioralon1]

This has been great. Super helpful for those who can't/don't want to re-read the whole series again. Thank you!!

[@arianakirkner461]

Absolutely incredible !! The dedication to this is greatly appreciated, and I found the length to be just right, truly left no stone unturned! The summary itself and how you organized this, the explanations of Easter eggs, as well as the illustrations/animations were a lovely addition and I found this summary more engaging and exciting than I thought possible. Again, wonderful work, thank you for the passion, your time, and energy; keep it up !! ❤

[@jeffvanrhee6034]

Excellent re-cap! And yes yes yes to Warbreaker sequel! One of my favorite reads from Sanderson. If anyone on Sanderson's team follows these videos, please get us a sequel!

[@CHICK3NP0TPIE]

I don’t comment often, but WOW. This was so well done, loved listening to this. Reminded me why WoR is my all time favorite book. Incredible work.

[@CapturedInWords]

That's awesome to hear, glad you enjoyed the summary! I'm working on the Oathbringer one now so hopefully it can be just as good! That video should be up in a couple days

[@snuffypoo]

Thank you so much for this Jay. Your Way of Kings summary has always been my favorite cosmere related video on youtube and I hope your hard work gets recognized. Looking forward to the other summaries!

[@handlingKoks]

My friend, you’ve done the unimaginable, the information is so perfectly picked out, however the visuals are just out of this world

[@predragvermezovic1175]

Wow, I can't imagine how much effort went into this. Thank you!

[@karldarnit]

Thanks for making this, it's exactly what I need before reading Wind and Truth!

[@zachandera8565]

Extremely well done and very much appreciated! For those who may be timid to watch due to the long length, it is made in a way that is easy to digest in small chunks, just like a book would be. I went through whole video over course of a few days. As someone who started his Cosmere journey with Stormlight Archive, it was really cool to hear all the Easter eggs I missed originally now that I have read more Cosmere books. Great work!

[@Braedon1441]

Jay, I gotta say, this is INCREDIBLE. Your work here is truly appreciated and we hope you get lots of rest!!

[@VanessaMacMillan-gn6li]

You might be my favorite person on earth right now… just finished the book today, I can’t wait to dive into this!! THANK YOU

[@ajregister5974]

WAIT This came in perfect time!! Your equivalent summary for Way of Kings saved me having to reread after 3 years, and now this video comes out just days before I needed a recap for the first half of the second installment. Thank you for all your hard work, Jay. It is VERY much appreciated

[@sspy1313]

-Makes WOK summary 48 mins. -Says it was too difficult, refuses to do it again. -Randomly makes 165 min summary of WOR 5 years later. What a Legend. Strength Before Weakness indeed...

[@mateszepessy8661]

So very well said!

[@osirisgem]

This has given me a lot more context and I didn't realize how much of these monsters I actually remembered. I will just remind everyone here, the shortest audiobook is 48+ hours long.

[@mk9beatz]

I literally JUST finished Words of Radiance today and I am excited for this before going into Oathbringer. I’ve been listening to the audiobooks at work. It’s very easy to get through these books while your working for 8 hours listening lol also gets you through the work day faster

[@victorcastro8349]

you are a life saver! I read words of radiance a few years ago and wanted a refresh before jumping into oathbringer. Thanks for the hardwork!

[@Kam-jk9yi]

This recap was amazing man, can tell you put a lot of time into not just the best summary of this book on KZbin, but the fantastic illustrations and music as well! Appreciate your hard work!

[@DavidGonzalez-ml4nv]

Thank you immensely for this. I haven’t read TWoK or WoR in about 6 years. Finally at a great place in my life where I can once again delve into the rest of the Stormlight Archive. Again… great work on the narrating, artwork, and music to keep us engaged. I sincerely hope you get all the recognition and reward you deserve for the meticulous work.

[@tophermoreno1537]

Exceptionally well done! Sanderson would be proud

No way, I knew you were working on a words of radiance summery but THIS, this is a freaking movie. Thank you so much I can’t wait to watch all of this. Ps, I CANT WAIT for Cosmere classified to come back.

[@ATXTriGirl]

This was FANTASTIC! So many things I missed and never would have caught without watching this video. Do this for every Cosmere book please!!

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm so glad it was helpful! After I finish these Stormlight Archive summaries, I definitely plan on doing the same for all other Cosmere books :)

[@RachelHowden]

@@CapturedInWordsthat would be amazing 🙌 it’s fun but so much time to reread all those books any time you want a refresh for another series. Plus you point out things that I’ve missed anyway. I wish longer format quality content like that was rewarded more!

As someone who forgets everything upon completion of a book.....thank you.

[@saulphin]

Been waiting for this video and the ones to follow! Such an undertaking. I recently did my own reread of all of stormlight and listened to every episode of Lost in Roshar. From a fellow Canadian, you should feel proud of this accomplishment and it’s high quality.

This might actually be my first KZbin comment, but I just have to applaud you on this amazing work!!! So glad I found this channel

[@Rinzler.14]

@@CapturedInWords I'm watching it in instalments like mini episodes because I'm enjoying it so much and want to savour it and not binge the content immediately like I do most times. I'm doing that also with a book atm by Rebecca Ross called Divine Rivals & Ruthless Vows because much like your summary i don't want it to end. Hmm come to think of it I was like that with the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate aswell plus a few other things in the fantasy genre too. Slowly go through and savour the good stuff!
