The Obsession Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 We all know Sanderson hides secrets but you knew he hid them in front of your very eyes. This text reveals it all Josh has many books. On his shelves he has nine copies of The Way of Kings, 13 different Mistborn novels, 5 posters Eric is jealous of, and two hardbacks of Elantris. How many books does Josh have? What is the point of having the word different, is this the key to it all. And because era 3 is in the future could josh be a character from the 3rd trilogy. by the way I did not write the bolder text as you may remember it from registration. REQUIRED 2
Revan Kholin he/him Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I would love to have more books of mistborn!!!
DeTess she/her Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 It's a nice find, but it has been known mistborn would have 13 books since the full plan for wax and wayne was known. Originally, three trilogies where planned, and the four wax and wayne books come in addition to that, for a total of 13 books.
marsoupial they/them Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I don't think Sanderson had anything to do with that captcha. I think the website administration wrote it (Josh and Eric are two of our lovely site admins, Rubix and Chaos). Hey, @Chaos, are you jealous of Lord Joshin's posters?

Vissy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Wait, Wax & Wayne are not the 2nd trilogy? This is news to me. What the hell is the 2nd trilogy going to be then?

What the hell is the 2nd trilogy going to be then? '2nd trilogy' is going to be a 1980s analogue. At one point, it was going to follow a Terriswoman Nicrosil-Misting computer programmer working with a Misting SWAT team to catch a Mistborn serial killer. Not sure how much plans may have changed over the years, though. Alloy was originally written as a standalone, and supposedly laid some groundwork for the modern trilogy. Brandon later decided that he wanted to do more with the characters, so he shuffled around his timeline to do a full trilogy (Shadows of Self, Bands of Mourning, and the unwritten last one, The Lost Metal). This might have involved moving the Set's plans chronologically earlier, maybe some stuff with the Southerners (Brandon has talked about wanting to do a 1940s-analogue story, a Scadrian World War), we don't know exactly. But one common theory I recall from when Alloy came out was that the kidnappings would result in the birth of the Mistborn serial killer, which would imply the Set would have been a major player hundreds of years later. In Brandon's most recent State of the Sanderson, he officially rescinded the 'Era 1.5' terminology, which he tried out to avoid this exact instance, where people conflate W&W and the Modern trilogy. But for now, he's calling W&W 'Era 2,' 1980s 'Era 3,' and SciFi 'Era 4.' I think we need more descriptive titles, since it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to slip another Era in between 3 and 4, which would further gunk up the naming.
Tsidqiyah he/him Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I personally believe that we will see another "in between" trilogy for a total of 16 Mistborn books. 16 Mistborn and 10 Stormlight would anything be more appropriate? 4
Vissy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Jump from Modern to the space age would indeed be a huge undertaking that would leave a lot of gaps. And Brandon knows that Mistborn sells, so I don't see why not.
Jofwu he/him Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 16 minutes ago, Rob Lucci said: I don't see why not. Because he has so many books to write and so little time. He could do it, but it comes at the cost of writing something else. I don't think he's worried about selling more books, so I doubt that will be part of his decision.
Vissy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Well, no, I do think it's a motivation in the sense that Mistborn will never be a source for worry.

I know it's blasphemy, but even he's gonna run out of unique ways to use the powers within the Metallic Arts eventually

Chaos he/him Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 So these questions on registration have various permutations. Others have different amounts for all of these values. So it doesn't mean anything. Also note, this doesn't mean different novels. Josh has a lot of copies of all the published books. A lot. Lastly, as for Sanderson related posters, I actually have the real valuable ones I have the #1 Allomantic table and #1 Feruchemical table print. 4

I prefer First Era - 3 books Second Era (W&W) - 4 books Third Era - 3 books Fourth Era - 3 books That amounts to 13 books. And now, between each eras a Secret History. Brandon already talked about wanting to do a Secret History 2. This would amount to 16.
