Suvudu Recording of Seattle Signing

[Chaos Adonalsium]

I had thought this was posted in Around the Cosmere, but apparently it fell through the cracks. The good people at Suvudu posted a recording of Brandon Sanderson's Seattle signing: http://sf-fantasy.suvudu.com/2011/11/event-video-brandon-sanderson-qa.html

There was some news on the publication schedule. After Stormlight 2, he'll do an Alloy sequel. He plotted three (maybe four) books with Wax and Wayne. So it'd look like:

Stormlight 2

Alloy 2

Stormlight 3

Alloy 3

etc.

He did say that he wants to do an Elantris sequel, so instead of an Alloy book he will probably do that for a year.

You may have heard that Stormlight Archive, while being a ten book series, is actually two five-book arcs, and Brandon revealed (first time I'm hearing it, at least), each book's character focus:

1. Kaladin

2. Shallan

3. Szeth

4. Navanni

5. Dalinar

This kind of surprised me; I wasn't expecting Navanni to be book four. This is awesome.

The best part was when he said in between the two five book arcs of Stormlight, he'd write the second Mistborn trilogy.

[Nemuri Darkeyes]

I was surprised by Navanni too. Thought it would have been Jasnah, though I guess parts of the Navanni flashbacks will have Jasnah in them.

[Arcanist Lupus Misting]

Note that this is only the probable order for the character focuses. It's not set in stone yet (but is highly likely).

Legion is hilarious. I can't wait for the novella! (and I hope the tv deal comes through too - this is perfect for television)

[Kurkistan Most Ancient]

Thanks for posting. I hadn't known about this.

[dhalagirl Babsk]

If the camera had panned 90 degrees to the left you would've seen me. If it had panned down, you would've seen the back of Peter Orullian's head. It was a very cool event. Although, it was a little weird being in a church. I felt like I should be offering up a prayer to Harmony, or somebody.

[PeterAhlstrom Sliver]

How many altars were there?

[Alliare Pahn Kahl]

I also expected Jasnah instead of Navani. But maybe we know too little about Navani, it'll be better to focus on her. I'm eager to see more about Kaladin, though, I love that character. And I'd also like to see how Dalinar's second son develops.

[Chaos Adonalsium]

I'm guessing Jasnah will get a book in the second five book arc, when (I presume) people start fighting Odium and Voidbringers directly.

I'm guessing Jasnah will get a book in the second five book arc, when (I presume) people start fighting Odium and Voidbringers directly.

I would guess that a Jasnah viewpoint would contain to much information about the radiants and their powers for a first arc book.

[dhalagirl Babsk]

How many altars were there?

Sadly, only one.

[Arcanist Lupus Misting]

Sadly, only one.

Was it made out of outdated encyclopedias?

[fyodor House Lord]

Interesting-I had been under the impression that Alloy of Law was just going to be a standalone between the first and second Mistborn trilogies.

Nope! Thankfully. I'd be really annoyed if there weren't more Wax and Wayne books, with that open-ended ending.

[dhalagirl Babsk]

Was it made out of outdated encyclopedias?

It didn't appear to be, but the Librarians might have cleverly covered it with a wood facade. I didn't think to check (a five hour drive will do that to you...or maybe it was something in the cookies...hmm).

However, there was a really sweet carved chair that they brought out for Brandon to sit on during the signing. It was very throne-like.

Awesome! I loved Wax and Wayne, and thought Alloy of Law was much too short! There is something to be said about gunsligers with magic!

[Darebear Skaa]

Also towards the end I was standing near the signing table and someone asked about the modern mistborn trilogy's plot. Brandon said that it would have an Allomancer SWAT Team dealing with a mistborn and having to figure out what they are fighting due to Mistborn disappearing into myth and religion.

And there was nothing unusual in the cookies that you need to know about.

[Ironeyes Bloodsealer]

I agree! Have a 1+!

So sad I can't read it yet (I haven't bought it yet and nobody I know has).

[dhalagirl Babsk]

Dude! That needs to be rectified soon. Sell an organ if you have to.

[Ironeyes Bloodsealer]

I have a gift card, just haven't had time to hit a bookstore. I probably will soon, now that finals are over.

[LevenThumps Noble]

Thanks for the list. Now I know what to look forward to in his later works. I didn't know about the Alloy sequels or the second mistborn trilogy, so this really brightens my day.

You need to read it as soon as you can. It's worth it (although every work by Brandon Sanderson is worth it).

That plot sounds pretty cool, I can't wait for the trilogy.
