Hi guys I joined today and I was wondering if there is a fifth book in the stormlight archive?

Welcome to the Shard! Not right now, I believe it's scheduled to come out in 2023.

Yeah, that sounds right... *googles* 2023. Yep.

Anyway, welcome to the Shard!

@book_dude Hey, welcome to the Shard! There is indeed going to be a fifth book the Stormlight Archive at some point. The current plans for its release are sometime late 2023. Probably November 2023, based on previous SA releases. However, Brandon has said that since this is the last book in the first arc of the series, he would be willing to push the release date back into early 2024, if he needs more time to make the book perfect. And if you weren't aware, Brandon is also planning for there to be another arc of 5 SA books, set 10-15 years after the end of book 5. This will bring the total books in the series up to 10, not counting the novellas.

Speaking of the novellas, have you had a chance to read Edgedancer (book 2.5) or Dawnshard (book 3.5)? They're both pretty good stories, though I prefer Dawnshard over Edgedancer. Also, have you had a chance to read any other Cosmere books? Or any of Brandon's non-cosmere books?

Also, there's a group of people here on the forums that run mafia games based on Sanderson's books. It's called Sanderson Elimination. If you're curious, you can take a read at the general rules here, and the signups for the next game can be found here.
