Saw a Reddit thread talking about flashback characters for the next books. Spoilers included for those that are waiting, but it's from one of Brandon's WOB.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/kc77u5/flashbacks_in_the_future_book/


We know the flashback characters. I may get the order slightly wrong for the back half, but I believe it will go Szeth, Renarin, Lift, Shalash, Taln, Jasnah.

So sounds like we will finally figure out what made Szeth realize the voidbringers were back in the next book.

Just finished the Wax & Wayne trilogy*, some fun reading in there. I think the middle of the 3 books may have been the weakest. I preferred the story arc of the 1st 3 Mistborn books as well. But, like I said, the W&W books were still entertaining.

*trilogy, because apparently he is writing a 4th book to this one.

Here's what I have knocked out now:
  • Way of Kings
  • Words of Radiance
  • Edgedancer
  • Oathbringer

  • Mistborn Trilogy
  • Wax & Wayne Trilogy

  • Elantris
  • Warbreaker

Think all I have now is Dawnshard then Rhythm of War, right? Should I get Arcanum Unbounded and read that first or in between these 2?

There are a few cosmere details in stormlight archives that would make more sense if you read Arcanum first, but its hardly required. There's no wrong answer.

Since you've read all of Mistborn, you should definitely read Arcanum asap. The Mistborn stuff in there is mind blowing.

What is up with Shallans's family? They are basically connected with every group on the planet.

Yeah... Secret History is a must and seemingly a very important story to the rest of the Cosmere because it introduces the idea of a Cognitive Shadow.

I always knew he was a madman.

The guy publishes more books by accident than most successful writers do on purpose

Someone should write a book about Brandon Sanderson being an alien, superhero, etc. The best way to get it done though would likely be for him to write it himself.

why do I get the feeling that Brandon's solution to a covid two week lockdown was to write 4 novels just to pass the time. He should get GRRM's permission to write a series on the colossal forts in eastern Essos. Hell he could finish GoT and Kingkiller before any of those authors get to publishing their last book.

It's never easy to hear how some people struggle so much. It sounds like the gofundme should help support him though, we need to paint a SAVE SANDERSON water-tower by this point.

People respecting Sanderson's wishes that he be the one to break the news to his fans. Plus, it's fun.

Caught the first few minutes of the vid earlier, about to watch the rest. I got the gist of it though.

Well that took a turn.

unbelievable. He is a machine. Very cool concept for 2023 they have come up with. Just checked, sitting at $13.6 million! Goodness.

Yeah... I hope he gets that weight under control, so he can finish Stormlight.

I backed the basic Hardcover one. I can't wait till they do the kickstarter for the other Stormlight leatherbound books. I love my Way of Kings, and want the rest. I also really want a leatherbound version of Warbreaker.

Watching his video, I am saddened to realize that I've been an enabler of this all these years--contributing to the mounting factors that ultimately led him down this path.

I am already in. Huge Sanderson fan.

Only mid tier though. I love the idea of swag stuff but I have zero use for it once I get it... Hardback and ebooks only for me.

Sanderson is saying audible will likely be available (for credits or $) about a week after Kickstarter. If you have no interest in the other stuff, it's a good value option.

Buying through the Kickstarter myself as it includes the epub so I can go back and look at the books if I want to see how it was written.

Nobody would have ever attended his book signings if we had known this!
