bdoble97 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 So exciting. This book series is most definitely my favorite ongoing series. Sanderson books are just so good his characters grab onto you and dont lwt go. Dalinar is my favorite character and seeing how this is going to be his book and it the bigest of the 3 I cant wait to dive into it next year and spend probley over a month in Roshar. I dont have the time I used to too many kids never seem to have time to read. Just want to thank Mr. Sanderson you are an amazing writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iarwainiel I she/her Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Such good news!! Dalinar is also my favorite - he is unlike any character I've ever run across (admittedly I don't read as widely in genre as some of you do). Re: the cover: I think we will be lucky to see it in August - - September is a better possibility, if the timeline is similar to Brandon's other books. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on these.) The WoK cover (Kaladin's flashback book) showed Eshonai and Dalinar. The WoR cover (Shallan's flashback book) showed Kaladin and Szeth. If that pattern holds, Dalinar will not be on the cover of Oathbringer. So who do we think will be? Shallan? Jasnah? Adolin? Evi (Dalinar's wife, aka "shshsh")? And if the pattern holds of showing a protagonist and an antagonist (or at least a seeming antagonist at the time), who would the other person be? Nalan? Taravangian? Mraise? It'd be cool if it was Nightwatcher - her curses could seem antagonistic from the protagonist's point of view. We have 11 months to prepare for the release by rereading WoK and WoR, plus Edgedancer.

I think it could be really cool, and it should be set at Urithiru. Adolin is set to be a major part of the story despite not having a POV early, after the murder of Sadeas, so if you're correct that Dalinar won't be on the cover himself (and it makes sense, if it's being planned that way), I think that's a fairly likely possibility. Nale of course I'm less sure on, but he also seems set to take more prominence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, obviously, haha. But publisher types do get a say on this sort of thing. Still, Oathbringer is a fantastic title so I'm not surprised it got OK'd fast.
