  1. Thanks to the people over at Fantasy Faction we now have a (mostly) complete list of the main characters in The Stormlight Archive. About eight minutes into part one of the three part video interview Brandon lists all ten of the major view point characters for the series. Here is that list: Kaladin Dalinar Adolin Jasnah Shallan Navani Szeth Taravangian Taln Another Herald (unnamed, be he said we've met them)

  2. he didn't get time to write chapter annotations during the copy editing like he usually does so he'll write them when he re-reads the book before writing book two, which will be after he finishes writing WoT. So the annotations will appear sometime next year probably.

  4. I somehow doubt that Szeth would be able to easily renounce his Truthlessness and join Kaladin, Dalinar & co. He is already going insane, hearing the screams of those he has murdered and blaming people for not being strong enough to prevent him from killing them. I think that having to take full responsibility for all of those deaths by renouncing the power of his vow as Truthless (think Derethil and the Wandersail) would be too much for him. Also, in an interview, The Sanderson mentioned that Book 1 was partly about Shallan's "first apprenticeship". Does this mean that there are going to be more apprenticeships to others? I'm all for the Shallan as Wit Idea .

  5. So, I've been thinking about my cage match list, and I want to change my preferred 16. In no particular order, Jasnah, Vin, Vasher, Raoden, Szeth, Alcatraz, Dalinar, Kaladin, Kelsier, Dilaf, the Lord Ruler, Sazed, TenSoon, Susebron, Sadeas, Marsh Mistborn characters: Vin's advantages are obvious, being small, quick, and incredibly skilled. Kelsier has an edge of ruthlessness which will serve him well. Marsh has additional Inquisitor abilities which make him a force to be reckoned with. Sazed is all about planning and the strength of Feruchemy. It would be fascinating to see how he does. And TenSoon, because it shakes things up. The Lord Ruler because I want to see how he will match up against other cosmere characters. Way of Kings characters: Dalinar and Szeth are the easy choices. Jasnah is powerful and highly motivated. Sadeas for his well-timed betrayals, which would totally give him a huge advantage against someone more naive like Susebron. Elantris characters: Raoden, naturally. He has similar disadvantages as Sazed, but he deserves to be here. Dilaf for the same sort of class as Sadeas. (Sadeas vs. Dilaf would be amazing) Warbreaker characters: Vasher because we need an Awakener. I want to see how he fares against a Mistborn or something. Susebron because he's surprisingly balanced--strong, but also naive. Alcatraz because we need to remember Brandon writes more than cosmere novels, and because he'll sass you into submission. So, I guess it depends what we're going for here. I imagine it as more of Suvudu style things and less "let's legitimately argue how this would work if Brandon would write it". Focus on fun. Because, um, it should be fun. If you like this bracket, upvote this post.
