#STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE ARCHIVE#
Q: Concerning everything on Roshar, is it safe to say The Stormlight Archive will become the backbone series of the story of the cosmere?Ī: There are three backbone series: Dragonsteel, Mistborn, and The Stormlight Archive. Our expectations are a very big part of our enjoyment of all different kinds of entertainment mediums. So I have a lot of good reasons to be preparing people for what's going to happen there. I'm going to stop writing the series for a few years, and then the "back five" (as I'm calling it) will focus on some different characters than the front five.
If you promise six, how long is this one going to be?"īut it's also because I want to start preparing readers for the break that's going to happen at book five. They might think, "The Wheel of Time was 'promised' to be six books and it ended up at fourteen.
I do want to be wary of not being too daunting to readers who are jumping into this thing and have been reading The Wheel of Time. Was that something you wanted to make clear so as not to be daunting to perspective readers or just more about how the story has developed since you began?Ī: It's a mixture of both, honestly. Q: One thing I've noticed around the release of Words of Radiance was you pointing out that The Stormlight Archive is really two series of 5 books each. Given that Brandon 'tweeted' that Eshonai might be the focal character in book four, this list of major characters has changed since first comprised. Brandon listed the 10 major viewpoint characters for the series to be: #īrandon has revealed that each of the 10 books in the series will have a focal character who gets flashbacks. The fifth book, therefore, will focus on Szeth, with the previously referenced working title for Szeth intact. The book is titled Rhythm of War and it was released in hardcover and ebook on November 17, 2020.

Originally, it was tweeted that the fourth book might focus on Eshonai, though that focus at the time remained unconfirmed until the following update here. It was released on Novemas an ebook by Dragonsteel Entertainment.
#STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE FULL#
While also not a full novel, but a novella similar to Edgedancer, Dawnshard is focused primarily on Rysn, but also on Lopen. However, the third book in the series is now focused on Dalinar, and is titled Oathbringer. The third book was originally to focus on Szeth and was tentatively titled, Stones Unhallowed, previously thought - though incorrectly - to have been changed to Skybreaker. The novella is titled Edgedancer, and Brandon has recommended on many occasions to read Edgedancer before reading the third book in The Stormlight Archive (i.e., Oathbringer), as it contains an important plot point and adds a new dimension to the next story. The separate book also includes the interlude from Words of Radiance. Brandon first included the story within Arcanum Unbounded, an anthology of cosmere short stories, but later published the novella as its own book. While not a full novel, Brandon also wrote a novella focusing on Lift, who previously appeared in a Words of Radiance interlude. Sanderson then changed it to Words of Radiance, which became the novel's actual title. The working title was then The Book of Endless Pages, but that title was later changed after Sanderson was asked if he really wanted a large fantasy novel titled as such.
The second book was initially titled Highprince of War (referring to Highprince Dalinar), but the title was changed after Brandon decided to change the book's focus to Shallan. A Fall 2013 release was planned for its sequel, but was then postponed to Madue to Brandon's completion of The Wheel of Time epic fantasy series. The first book in the series, The Way of Kings, was published in 2010. To stop this apocalypse, the broken order of Knights Radiant must re-form, reclaiming the Shards and magical Oaths they once bore.The series is estimated to require 10 books to complete, in two 5-book arcs. In the sequels, Words of Radiance and Oathbringer, a dreaded Desolation stirs on the horizon. The warlords of this world fight each other to claim ornate techno-magical suits of armor called Shardplate and soul-cutting swords called Shardblades. These arcane knights augment themselves by donning "Valorplate", ornate techno-magical suits of armor with unique abilities, and wield a host of similarly flashy melee weapons.īrandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings: Book I of the Stormlight Archive, published in 2010, introduced fantasy readers to Roshar, a world buffeted by constant, tsunami-like storms, filled with coral reef ecosystems and elemental spirits. In a world buffed by destructive storms, a heroic Knightly Order must stop the apocalypse by climbing the Skybreaker Monolith and fighting their way through hordes of enemies in various elemental realms. Information on Godfall's storyline so far is slim, gleaned from interviews and trailer footage released by Counterplay.
