What's a Seawolf? Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 15 minutes ago, Use the Falchion said: If Sanderson can't work the title in as an in-world book, then it might have to change. That'd really stink though. Rhythm of War sounds so cool. If he's still going with RoW, maybe Release of Woe? I can see that being an in-world Singer book/song while also tying into the themes of the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciridae Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 It says “Who’s excited to see the cover of stormlight 4??” under the same post on instagram, does anybody know how close we are to the cover reveal? I cant remember how far ahead we got the cover for OB, but I think most books reveal the cover around a year before release, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bliev Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Brandon, on Reddit a few hours ago: Quote As you all can guess from this, I finally decided that I've made enough progress (and am likely enough to finish the final book in time) that I let Tor pick a date and start the marketing Machine. As we stand right now, I have 10 chapters plus the climax (which can be quite large) and epilogue to finish before the end of the year, and I'm thinking I'll make it. Edit: my guess is that he's not quite ready to put the title in stone yet, but the marketing machine must be sated so rev it up, title or no!

Oathbringer's cover was released in March, so we probably still have a few months to go. Still, this announcement is making me so excited to see the cover. I'm hoping it's not as monochromatic as OB's was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Awakened Salad Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Ooooh I hadn't even thought about the cover. I suppose it would feature Venli or Eshonai? (Or both? That would be cool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something that raises more questions. Like... how would it feel if the Nightwatcher was on the cover? Or a planet that doesn't look like it's Roshar? Though more likely it would be something that doesn't reveal too much while still building anticipation: like Kaladin and Szeth facing off for WoR, and Jasnah Soulcasting with Thunderclast in the background for OB. For this one... Urithiru, perhaps? Edited December 11, 2019 by Honorless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bliev Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Is Whelan doing the cover art again? I hope so! Jasnah on the OB cover was stunning and I love his full scene prints. the last two have been battle scenes, highlighting a central Radiant. Maybe we will see Venli on this cover or Navani with her Fabrials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KandraAllomancer Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 It gets even better: Quote Brandon Sanderson It has been almost twenty years since I first outlined The Stormlight Archive. Back then, I didn’t think anyone would be interested in this crazy epic I’d devised–and it’s been so thrilling to see enthusiasm for it grow to such heights over the years. Book four finally gets to one of the foundational scenes I conceived from the beginning. In fact, it might be the very first big scene I imagined, and my favorite in the entire series. A part of me can’t believe people are finally going to be able to read it. Miscellaneous 2019 (Dec. 10, 2019) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think the cover will have to do with the big moment he was always looking forward to writing since the beginning. Brandon has said the covers do not have to do with the flash back characters in so far as that being a way to predict it. The covers reflect a big scene in the book. So the first cover was to reflect Kaladin saving Dalinar at the tower. The second cover was Kaladin coming to land after speaking his third oath, and saving Dalinar floating in the air to fight Szeth after Szeth had just carved through alethi soldiers to get to Dalinar. The third cover was the scene at the battle of Thaylenah when Jasnah restores the wall, with the thunderclast in the background. So I would imagine book four's cover would be the big scene Brandon is so excited about. At least that is where I am putting my betting money.

It could be. It could also be a big battle scene with all the radiants, a city awakening moment, Taln waking up and decided that he wants to open a pastry factory or Adolin and Kaladin's honeymoon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan is Brandon's favorite illustrator, if he has availability they'll use him. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/126/#e1771 I searched Arcanum for Whelan and it's a decade worth of Brandon raving about how much he likes him. Odds are good he'll be back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
