It's The Rithmatist's Release Day!

May 14 2013 12:15 AM by Chaos     5

It's May 14th (very early in the morning, but still), and you know what that means: it's Rithmatist day.

But Eric, that isn't a cosmere book, so I'm totally not interested in it.

Thank you, random viewer! Indeed, The Rithmatist is not a cosmere novel. If you're ever confused which books are cosmere and which aren't, just look if it contains Earth in it (for example, Alcatraz is not in the cosmere). The Rithmatist is set on Earth, but as you might expect, it's a little... different. And it's awesome.  Read more


The Rysn Interlude Transcribed

May 13 2013 02:52 PM by Chaos     1

So you have almost assuredly known that Brandon has been posting videos of an interlude in Words of Radiance, which features Rysn, a character from an interlude in The Way of Kings. After all, Brandon has posted twelve videos of it over the past while, and posted a high speed version a few weeks ago.

But, maybe you don't really want to watch a video of it. Maybe you just want to scroll at your own pace. Well, fear not, for the great and powerful Windrunner has transcribed the video for your perusal!  Read more


The Emperor's Soul Gets a Hugo Nomination

Mar 30 2013 02:41 PM by Chaos     3

A huge congratulations to Brandon, as it was just announced today that The Emperor's Soul has won a Hugo nomination. The Emperor's Soul is simply fantastic--and in my opinion the best of Brandon's shorter works--and is entirely deserving of this honor.  Read more



Michael Whelan To Return To Make WoR Cover

Mar 04 2013 12:05 PM by Chaos     0

The renowned Michael Whelan--the cover artist of The Way of Kings and many other fantasy covers, such as the cover for A Memory of Light--will return to do the cover for the second Stormlight novel, Words of Radiance. Tor announced the news earlier today.

It was never a sure thing that Whelan would return, as he is incredibly busy. But Whelan wrote some initial thoughts on Words of Radiance, and it seems Whelan was suitably impressed once again.  Read more


Stormlight 2 is Officially "Words of Radiance"

Feb 28 2013 11:50 AM by Chaos     0

The second book in the Stormlight Archive now officially has a title: Words of Radiance.. Tor revealed it earlier today and Brandon also has comments on his choice of the title, how it changed from his original choice, The Book of Endless Pages, and more, so click the link to check it out. In case you didn't know, book two has Shallan's flashback sequence.

Also of interest is the working title of book three--Szeth's book--as Stones Unhallowed, which might change, and book five--Dalinar's--The Highprince of War, which we have reported on before. However, Brandon says that title will most assuredly change.  Read more
