InfernoHues Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I was reading through WoR recently and noticed this book. I was wondering why Jasnah gave the book to Shallan, and if it would have any relevance in the future. From what I can tell, there is very limited information on it so far.

There was a chance that Words of Radiance could’ve been titled as “The Book of Endless Pages” but Brandon didn’t think it fit well, so we got “words of radiance” instead as far as i know it doesn’t have any major future relevance in-world Questioner Who’s going to be the focus for the next Way of Kings? Brandon Sanderson I spent a long time deliberating this, and eventually, in my plotting, I came upon one of those moments where you’re “Ah, this is what I need to do”, so it is going to be Shallan. So the focus for the next book is Shallan, and half of you want it to be Dalinar, and half of you want it to be Shallan, Dalinar will get his book, Shallan will get her book, but there’s a funny story here. In my original outline, I named many of the books, like Dalinar’s is named Highprince of War. Shallan’s book was actually named after the book that Jasnah gives her, which is very thematically important to her. But then I started telling it to people, and they started laughing, because the book that Jasnah gave her is called the Book of Endless Pages. So, I thought that was a really cool title, but apparently, that’s going to give the reviewers too much fuel. So you can pretend in your head that it’s called that, but I’ll come up with a different name. Alloy of Law release party (Nov. 7, 2011) Edited July 14, 2020 by Eternal Khol
