Nathrangking Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm a bit annoyed that Dragonsteel is now only a maybe, but this is a #firstworldsanderfan problem. I shall just have to find a way to survive it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall just have to find a way to survive it. Thought the exact same thing. I always thought of this as one of the core series of the Cosmere and it now seems to be demoted to a maybe side project. This was surprising. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSuperLee Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Thank you, Ixthos. I've been distracted by Christmas stuff over the past few days and have been forgetting to look, so I appreciate the announcement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardsplinter Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I beg of this wonderful fandom that we all collectively decide Knights of Wind and Truth is obviously and clearly shortened as KoWT. I NEED THIS SYMMETRY IN MY LIFE Spoiler Also can someone please remind Brandon of his own H rule.

I move to ignore that and continue to use KoW, because we don't do TWoK we do WoK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbringer Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Pretty sure the ketek structure lets you stuff an "and" or similar in places to let it flow better. (In addition to WoK, people usually say OB and not just O ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they reconsider they pricing policy (40% for the creator is incredibly, almost scandalously, little) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about this as well. I love that he's willing to flex his "successful content creator" muscles in defense of authors everywhere... but Amazon has a LOT more muscle. Luckily, at least some of their decision-making process has to include public opinion, right? *crosses fingers* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 I'm a bit disappointed by this state of sanderson. no, not that there's anything disappointing in there. it's been a good brandon year. it's just that i already knew it all. i was hoping for some new nuggets. other years it happened. instead, no big announcements, no new secret projects, no preview chapters. it's like waiting for a christmas gift, and then it's something you already have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isilel Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 I have hoped that the collaborative novel with Stewart would already have a publication date... At least it still seems to be going forward. I have a real hunkering for an exploration/expedition type story in era 2. There is all that unknown land beyond the Roughs! There are mysterious islands! In fact, before the details about TLM became known, I expected that Our Heroes would chase after the Set into the wilderness beyond the Roughs and that the final confrontation would happen in a secret base somewhere far outside the Basin. And honestly, I'd still would have preferred such a scenario to what we got. I also really like the broadsheet stories about Nikki and Nazh. Allomancer Jak too, but Sanderson has his plate full and I'd rather he concentrate on Stormlight 5/Mistborn Era 3. Though I was disappointed that Handerwym wasn't revealed as a Ghostblood in TLM. You'd think that popularizing exploration, while learning juicy secrets anout the post-Catacendre world is something that Kelsier would want, and Connector powers are potentially very versatile and valuable. Also, somebody who was able to work with Jak for so long can only be an excellent team-player... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habatab Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 That tentative name reveal for Stormlight 5 really did something to my brain. Assuming the trend holds true, and the title is also an in-world document, The Knights of Wind and Truth sounds like the name of a memorial piece/biography for our favorite Windrunner and possibly entire bridge crew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
