Salkara Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 TWoK had 11 chapters before the first set of interludes. WoR had 12 chapters before the first set of interludes. We've now had a total of 15 chapters. Is Kaladin surrendering to the newly freed parshmen and Shallan sleeping happily big enough cliffhangers for the first set of OB interludes next week?

ccstat Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Peter has confirmed that interludes are not part of the planned preview chapters on Tor. We will be getting up through Ch 32, which is the end of Part I. Interludes should fall between Ch 32 and 33. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy92 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 The interludes always take place at the end of each main part. This book's part one just happens to be 32 chapters long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crucible of Shards Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Also, the chapter have been shorter than in the previous two books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJedi Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Based on what I put here: Oathbringer Word Counts the chapters are around half the length in Oathbringer than in the other SA books. Quote Part One is a fantastic taste of the overall product. Long ago, Brandon said he plotted Oathbringer as a trilogy. That is, that there are three distinct sections of Oathbringer. In Words of Radiance, he also did this, where the first "book" in Words of Radiance was Parts One and Two, the second "book" is Part Three, and the third "book" is Parts Four and Five. And if you have read Words of Radiance recently, you know that each of those "books" has a pretty big climax. Well, for Oathbringer, you can see in that Reddit link, Part One of Oathbringer is its first "book". Get hyped. Also with Part One being the "first book" you would think that it would be longer. 12*2 = 24 + (4*2) = 32. So if you add 4 WoK/WoR size chapters to part one (for 16 total) you get 32 chapters in Oathbringer's Part One. WoR has about 17 chapters in each part or 34 Oathbringer sized chapters. So it makes sense for there to be a lot more (20) chapters before the Interludes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
