Brandon Sanderson’s book Words of Radiance is the second installment of the Stormlight Archives series. The book continues to follow Shallan and Kaladin as they progress through the Parshendi war and attempt to discover the secrets of the city of Urithiri and the Knights Radiant. This book, much like the first, drags on a lot throughout the book.
Brandon Sanderson’s book, The Hero of Ages, is the third book in the Mistborn series. The book follows Vin and Elend as they search the world for hints on how to defeat Ruin. All the while they must fight against both the ash, which is becoming threatening to supplies and covering tons of land and the armies of Ruin, which have become very daunting. This book is not as impressive as the first book in the series due to its ebb and flow of interesting parts.
Brandon Sanderson’s book, Well of Ascension, is the second book in the Mistborn series. The book is focused on a war in a much larger scale than the first book in the series, and ultimately sets the scene for the third book. The story with Elend Venture and Vin adds a good dynamic to the story. However, there are a few parts throughout the story that drag on and cause boring stretches in the book.

Two Degreesis a survival book about climate change by Alan Gratz. The book is about three different stories, and how climate change impacted each of them, from snow to wildfires to floods, but it was not too good. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The problem for me was that it was not the most readable because they were switching between stories (but I am sure that author Alan Gratz does that for his books), but the message about climate change elevated this book.
