TheKingOfCarrotFlowers Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 He RAFO'd me, which I expected, but he explained that the reason he had to RAFO it was because he doesn't want to build anticipation or expectations about the heralds yet, since they won't really be heavily featured until the 2nd set of 5 books. That's a paraphrase obviously, but it's the essence of what he was trying to convey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 That's interesting. Not entirely unexpected, but interesting still. It even makes sense, now that I think about it - we have two big problems in The Stormlight Archive - one, the (Last) Desolation is coming, and two, our protectors, the Heralds, are missing. So it makes sense for the two five-book arcs to (mainly) address one of those each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 That's interesting. Not entirely unexpected, but interesting still.

So it makes sense for the two five-book arcs to (mainly) address one of those each.Surely those go together? If the first series/arc deals with the Last Desolation, by the second arc why are the Heralds still needed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The problem with the Heralds is not so much that they are missing (which is a problem directly tied with the Last Desolation arc), but that it looks like they are going rogue. If this is the case then I could see the second arc being about dealing with them, the various factions of Roshar, and / or whatever else not directly a part of the Last Desolation might show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
