Storm light archives part 2

[Darrell]

What's the story with part 2 of the storm light archives?

First of all, welcome to the forums! As for your question, I'm assuming you're referring to Words of Radiance. I'm not entirely clear on what exactly you're asking. Some clarification would help us to better answer your question

Welcome to the Shard! Have a cookie!

 

Brandon Sanderson is going to split the Stormlight Archive series into two parts. They will both have five books in them, and will have the point of view of different characters, along with different flashback sequences for each of them.

 

Part one will have the POVs of Kaladin, Shallan, Dalinar, Szeth (I think), and Eshonai (I think). Part two I do not know who's POV it will be from, though I would guess that Jasnah and Lift have POVs in it.

Renarin, Taln, Jasnah, Lift and Shalash are the flashback characters for the second set of five books iirc.

Where are you getting the viewpoint characters from (aside from Renarin, who was the only one I remember having been confirmed by Brandon)?

Spoiler

Also, I though Jasnah was banned from the Physical Realm or something, since she, you know, kicked it...

WoR spoilers:

She didn't, she Elsecalled into the Cognitive Realm and healed herself using stormlight using gems in her dress. She shows up again in the epilogue.

This scene shows how she survived: http://www.tor.com/2014/08/06/stormlight-archive-scene-after-words-of-radiance/

Here's his latest comment on the subject. His plans have changed - in 2011, they looked quite different. Navani was supposed to get a book in the first half, and it looks like she was replaced with Eshonai. Taravingian was getting a book (whaaat?!?), which seems to have turned into Lift's book. The second herald was referred to as a "he," and Brandon had to think about it to confirm he was in WoK. Either Brandon slipped up and was referring to Ash, or he had planned for a different herald (Nale or Ishar, since the other two men were featured prominently in the prologue).
