Bloodfalcon he/him Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Mistorn is also being split up into different parts. Each part jumps to a new age with advances in technology and new characters. We know the SA series is being broken into 10 books which are split into 2 , 5-book parts. I would love it if the second group of 5 books was set in a future age, but alligned with wherever the Mistborn series is, and kept many of the same main characters. Dalinar has 62 days at the start of book 2 before the Everstorm. Forgive me, but I don't think you are going to write 9 books that take place over that period of time. I could see it being possible to write 4 action packed books, though I could see it being doable in the first few. Either way, I think this is totally doable if the POV characters we have now step up and replace the Heralds in a new or restored Oathpact. At the end of this 5 book series, after they have won, our main characters are either immortal on earth OR they suffer for thousands of years until the next book (good metaphor for how we will feel waiting for the next series). It could mean lots of cool things, like flashback chapters that give us clues about wherever Heralds are sent for that time between lives. No doubt that would include another torture sequence, but it could turn up some cool details on different realms or worlds. Anyone looking forward to other long term plans? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meddler Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) He mentioned some of the characters from the first half will be around but won't be the main characters, so unless the characters are the immortals or somehow gain immortality, I think it won't be similar to Mistborn, where they skip 100's of years. I'd think he skips through 10-20 years. Edited January 14, 2014 by meddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Sharded? Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Didn't he already mention possible main POV's for the second 5 book arc? I seem to remember Jasnah, Navani, Adolin, and Taln as possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly he/him Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I doubt that 62 days represents the beginning of the Everstorm unless the Ever storm itself takes a while to build itself up. 62 may just be the countdown to the start of a countdown to destruction.

Shardlet he/him Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think the first five books will deal principally with the re-establishment of the KR and some of the precursors to the Everstorm and the second five will deal with the events and struggles of the Everstorm.

hoser he/him Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think the first five will be fending off this crisis. The next five will be taking the fight to Odium, rebuilding Honor somehow and creating a more stable situation for the people of Roshar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natans he/him Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 62 day until the parshendi use their "stormform" (voidbringerform in my opinion) to storm the Alenthi camps and the 100th Desolation begin. The begin of the war will most likely be the climax of this book, with a awesome fight where Kaladin almost alone defend the Kholin family of the "Voidshendis" showing his awesome power in some awesome way making him the official Awesome Hero of the book ( be warned many safe hand gloves will be trown at kaladin in book 3) =) The shattered plains camps receive a severe blow making the survivor flee to Alentenkar where Dalinar, in the moment os more need unite all princedom to fight back =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natans he/him Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 For what I remember. Mr.Sanderson said that Tal and another Herald that he didn't say who would get a flashback book. Side note, he also said that he would like make another Kal book and she mused with the possibility of also doing a Adolin. So a guess that even that list that he gived some time ago with all flashback character could easily change. Peter said on time that until something are publised any information aren't 100% sure =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
