Ixthos Luke/Luke Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 The Way of Kings ((t)WoK) Words of Radiance (WoR) Oathbringer (O) Rhythm of War (RoW) .... (t)WoK WoR O RoW **** WoK WoR O RoW KoW The fifth book is going to be KoW 2
Nellac Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 I want this to be true so bad. I'm not sure it will, but I really want it to. It would make sense though 2
RShara she/her Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Quote havoc_mayhem I'm sure others have spotted this already, but I just noticed that the titles of the first 5 Stormlight Archive books are on track to form a palindrome. (The) Way of Kings Words of Radiance Oathbringer (The) Rhythm of War ... WoK.WoR.O.RoW... This is really cool! Whether coincidence or deliberate, I hope that Sanderson continues the trend. Brandon Sanderson Let's just say that abandoning the title of book two way back when let me rebuild the title sequence to do something I hadn't been able to make work in my original series draft. Stones Unhallowed isn't likely to be the last book's title any longer. General Reddit 2019 (Nov. 15, 2019) 1
Quantus he/him Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 We were talking about this very thing on reddit today. The guess (not mine) that I now LOVE is "Killer of Worlds". This feels thematically perfect for the Big Middle event of the Central "backbone" Cosmere series. Quote Questioner Concerning everything on Roshar, is it safe to say The Stormlight Archive will become the backbone series of the story of the cosmere? Brandon Sanderson There are three backbone series: Dragonsteel, Mistborn, and The Stormlight Archive. And Mistborn is past, present, future, Stormlight is the center, and Dragonsteel is the beginning. So really it goes: Dragonsteel, Mistborn, Stormlight, Mistborn, Stormlight, Mistborn is basically how this backbone sequence goes. JordanCon 2014 (April 11, 2014) 2
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Killer of Words perhaps also. Seems more inline with the theme of books and dissemination of information 1
NameIess Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 I'm hoping for Knight of the Winds. The "the" is left out of "the" Way of Kings, so it could be possible. 1

Considering that another theory I've read was that book five ends with the destruction of Roshar and a mass migration to Nalthis... 1

Honorless he/him Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Here's a similar topic with really good and amusing guesses:
Vissy Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 It would be really cool if the first and last books rhyme. "Way of Kings, Knight of the Winds" would do the trick as someone else proposed. I think the title is going to rhyme, though. 1
The Wanderer Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Seeing as the fifth book's viewpoint character is Szeth, maybe it could end up as (the) Knight Of Whispers? Edited February 12, 2020 by The Wanderer typo 2
