I believe he's aiming for the publication gap to be around 6 years if possible (he wants to publish the third series with one book a year, and each book to be shorter, around the size of the OG Mistborn trilogy).

There is very clearly a "Big Bad" for this first era of Stormlight Archives. I just don't know what the end goal is for the second 5 book arc. Spoiler I get the sense that the five-year gap is a truce or stalemate and the Big Bad will resume after Book 5. Anyway, the outcome of the Stormlight Archive is hardly a mystery if you are familiar with Sanderson's oeuvre. If you read, you are a big believer in journey over destination.

Rhom Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Book 2 of the Kickstarter arrived yesterday. I have not had a chance to read book one yet. Like that one, this one is a gorgeously illustrated hardback. Its blue. (The first one was green.) I had thought that all four books were supposed to be part of the Cosmere, but this one's title is The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England. So I'm guessing that it isn't tied in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I think 1, 3 and 4 are Cosmere, 2 isn’t. Rhom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fine. Predictable, but fine. Felt like a very standard Sanderson book. Gaston de Foix and Rhom 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've thought for a long time whether you like or loathe Sanderson, what he did in the Stormlight archive in terms artwork and crossing the novel/graphic novel wall was innovative and valuable. hauberk and Rhom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) That's amazing. I had a rescue kitten gifted (unexpectedly) to me in my 20s, he had little tufts of hair between his toes and spiky ears, this tiny little thing. Well surely he had some Maine Coon or similar in him, because little Walter ended up one big boy. Alas feline leukemia took him before he was two so we never got to see Truly Big Walter. Anyway my reasoning stands that a nice lazy lap cat might not mind my ridiculously large Oathbringer hardback laying across him for proper page-turnability.

Anyway, the more prosaic solution is to buy the paperback version of the Stormlight Archive which I think come in three volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
