DragonReborn he/him Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/03/brandon-sandersons-words-of-radiance-debuts-at-number-one-on-the-new-york-times-bestseller-list I think this was pretty much expected, but its still a great accomplishment. Congrats Brandon and everyone else who helped on the project 2
TheOneKEA Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Brandon just tweeted that Words of Radiance is #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List! I checked the NYT site but it hasn't updated yet, so I'm guessing that Peter or Brandon's agent told him. 1
Caidhe he/him Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Great news! First time for this for Brandon I think (for a non-WoT book). Hopefully it means more will see it and decide to pick up his books. 1
Rubix he/him Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 It is the first time he's hit #1 on his own. He hit #1 with all three WoT books, but other than those, his high was #7 for both Way of Kings and Alloy of Law. 1
Lightflame he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Awesome! Congrats to Brandon, and may the whole world someday bow to him as Brandonalsium the supreme! 2
Shardlight he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Congrats to Brandon and the whole team!!
Ailessar Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 So happy for Brandon! Congratulations! May his stay on the NYT list be as wondrous, and as long, as the book he gave us! 2
Argent he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Oh, hmm. Perhaps my sarcastic comment was out of line - I was under the impression that this is nothing new. In this case, woot woot!
ricree Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Congratulations Brandon and everyone else that worked on it. You guys put out an amazing book, and I'm glad to see that so many other people agree. 1
+Quitecontrary she/her Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Well deserved, Brandon and team! Congratulations! 1
Aminar Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Called it! This book has all the right criteria both within(quality) and without(placement in series.)
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Steelheart hit #1 too, but YA books have their own list. This was by no means a foregone conclusion, but the closest competitor ended up not being very close. It's a real testament to how much people have grown to love the Way of Kings over the past four years. You guys really wanted to read the sequel, and you told all your friends. And by the way it won't go on the Times website until...Saturday? Monday? next Friday? Their calendar is really screwy. It's the best seller list for March 23rd.

There is no better fantasy writer than Brandon Sanderson. I am very grateful for the universe he has created. Congrats Brandon! You definitely deserve this recognition! We should have a party for him. Or do something in honor..... 1
Delightful Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Or do something in honor..... Yes, that would definitely Cultivate his reputation as an author. (You asked for it there ) 2
Carlos Stormblessed he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Yes, that would definitely Cultivate his reputation as an author. (You asked for it there ) Haha, totally. We should preserve these kinds of posts for sure.... da dun dun. 1
Delightful Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Haha, totally. We should preserve these kinds of posts for sure.... da dun dun. As long as there's no Odium aimed at us which might Ruin our Devotion to cosmere puns. Edit: I actually have no clue how to use 'odium' in a sentence....is that ^ right?
