Refero he/him Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm guessing that there will be a time skip between series arc. So, I'm guessing that the second sequence of SA will have POV that would also decribe what'll happened between the gap.
The Silver Queen Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Awesome, I would love to read more about him. So the most likely characters to get a book in the second half are Renarin, Lift, and Taln? Just a guess. Words of Radiance I would really like it if Jasnah could get her own a book also, assuming if she is still alive after the first 5 books. ...
Cromptj he/him Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 So is this definite confirmation that there will be 10 different flashback characters? Also, we already know what Dalinar's wife's name is from the 103% accurate post. It is revealed to actually be shshshshsh in book 3.
Vortaan he/him Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if each flashback character did represent an order of Radiants. Yes, we know that so far Listeners can't be Radiants, but maybe something will happen that will change the rules of the game. Here's hoping, at least, I feel awful for the Parshendi.

Also, we already know what Dalinar's wife's name is from the 103% accurate post. It is revealed to actually be shshshshsh in book 3. A while back Brandon was toying with the idea of having one or two characters have a second set of flashback (Kaladin was one of them). As far as I know he hasn't officially scrapped this idea.
Arcanist he/him Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 A while back Brandon was toying with the idea of having one or two characters have a second set of flashback (Kaladin was one of them). As far as I know he hasn't officially scrapped this idea. I like the version: one POV-character - one book better. And to the question which character will get an own book: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=612#7 I think the characters on this list can likely have an own book....except we already have 2 new faces on the list: Eshonai and Renarin
Bort he/him Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I know who I would like to see have a book in the Stormlight Archive - Galivar. Perhaps the last one in the series, to answer the final questions about how it all started. I'm definitely looking forward to reading Szeth's story, although I believe I've pieced together at least some of what happened for him to be made Truthless. Not going to share here though - wrong thread.
Windrunner he/him Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 If we look at all the people who are "confirmed" to have a book, we've already hit the ten. The back five are looking like Taravangian, Taln, Jasnah, Lift, and Renarin, in no specific order.
Bort he/him Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I don't think Taln will have his own book, if he is the last Herald. I think Rysn will have one instead. I'll agree with the others you suggest though Windrunner. 2
Windrunner he/him Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 These aren't suggestions, all have been confirmed by Brandon. At one point he mentioned another Herald or a second Kaladin book, but there's no room with all the ones explicitly confirmed. Navani used to have a book too, until it was tossed out because it treaded much of the same ground Dalinar's book will cover. 1
Arcanist he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Oh, I was looking forward for a Navani and/or Adolin book as well. But you are right with the "same ground as Dalinar". When does he mentioned the Lift book and skipped the one with Navani? I somehow missed that interview/Q&A
Argent he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I was under the impression that Lift will be a major character, but not not necessarily a flashback one.
bartbug he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Ditto with Argent. When did we hear about flashback-Lift? She didn't strike me as a very good candidate for that, considering how she's somewhat... young. I mean, if Rall Elorim is that important, sure, I guess, but I don't see her as adding very much to the party.

There *is* going to be a time jump between the front and back fives, plenty of time for juicy backstory.
Arcanist he/him Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 There *is* going to be a time jump between the front and back fives, plenty of time for juicy backstory. Brandon mentioned that there will be only a short gap between the two arcs. Assuming that the POV-characters mentioned above will have flashbacks, adn Taravangian is quiet old, the gap may be only a few years long.
Wolven he/him Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 With Dalinar's memories of his wife, I think that his boon was to take away the pain from losing his wife. The curse was that the loss of pain came with a loss of memory. 1
The Sheppy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Brandon mentioned that there will be only a short gap between the two arcs. Assuming that the POV-characters mentioned above will have flashbacks, adn Taravangian is quiet old, the gap may be only a few years long. At the Barnes and Noble Signing Brandon said the gap will be 10 years between books 5 and 6.
