Be warned: there are some mild spoilers in there…but if you’re one of those people who’s been itching to see what Kaladin, Shallan and Dalinar have been up to since 2017, they’re worth checking out. Sanderson also regularly posts updates on Reddit about the book’s progress.

It also marked the middle point in Stormlight’s first five-book arc, so we can expect some pretty major stuff to go down in the next volume. Steelheart may be dead, but Epics still plague New More. Volume three, Oathbringer, left the world of Roshar in a pretty precarious place, with a lot of the preconceived notions about its history being challenged.

In fact, it might be the very first big scene I imagined, and my favorite in the entire series. Book four finally gets to one of the foundational scenes I conceived from the beginning. An instant 1 New York Times Bestseller and a USA Today and Indie Bestseller The Stormlight Archive saga continues in Rhythm of War, the eagerly awaited sequel to Brandon Sanderson's 1 New York Times bestselling Oathbringer, from an epic fantasy writer at the top of his game. Back then, I didn’t think anyone would be interested in this crazy epic I’d devised–and it’s been so thrilling to see enthusiasm for it grow to such heights over the years. It has been almost twenty years since I first outlined The Stormlight Archive.
Great news for fans of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive: Tor has announced that the fourth book in the series will be released on November 17, 2020!
