[@danyf7429]

I bring forth hope to both of you! I indeed don't think there is a lot said about Warbreaker 2, *but* he hasn't given up on it yet. It will eventually happen, so much so that it even has a (tentative) name! Warbreaker - Nightblood :D As for The Rithmatist, yeah that one is kinda dead in the water right now, *but* he has expressed his wishes to get other writers to write Cosmere books, starting by Dan Wells. This, paired with the fact the he said he wanted to get help from a Latin American author in order to correctly represent the Latam cultures in the book, has led many to believe he's looking for a latam fantasy author that can take on the project and handle The rithmatist 2 by themselves. Some also speculate this may be Gama, a friend of his that fits all the criteria and recently appeared on the podcast. There may be hope!

[@sanjithechef]

@@alansmithee419I haven’t finished book 2 of Mistborn 1 yet but I wonder if it’ll ever end up eclipsing storm light - or is it a foregone conclusion among fans that storm light is his best work and Mistborn will always be a good second?

[@alansmithee419]

@@sanjithechef mistborn absolutely goes places you aren't aware of yet. And I think era 4 is supposed to be some kind of mass crossover finale for the cosmere, though I could be completely wrong. My personal opinion is that storm light is a better crafted story, but mistborn is more fun. If that makes sense. It's not that one is inherently better than the other, they're just equally good in different ways.

[@novon246]

I doubt he will write only these books in 5 years... He probably has 4 other secret projects in the making, along with a few novella, that white sand novellazation and then obviously start working on storigh 6 cuz five years is too long to wait

[@jeffweskamp3685]

Brandon has said that he will begin Mistborn Era 3 and the two Elantris sequels after he completes Stormlight 5. He also noted those five books need to be written before he begins Stormlight 6.

[@hikaru99]

The Mark Book one coming out in the holidays. All thanks to Sanderson Tolkien and Rowling . Don’t forget The Mark also huge shout out to vin ;)

[@buxxley1274]

It's hard to be upset about anything Sanderson puts out because the quality is typically very good...but the idea of Stormlight creeping along so slowly because he's working on Elantris sequels is a little disheartening. I'm sure they'll be better now because he has so much more experience...but, while an excellent first novel, Elantris is still very definitely a first novel. I think it's easily one of his weakest books and more Stormlight / Mistborn would be a better use of time vs. using his immense talent to salvage a "meh" plot. When you're the king though...I guess you get to choose what you want to do with your time. :)

@@Gronmin not saying you have to read books 6-10. Just that if this guy loves the world, he’ll probably read book six when it comes out. And Mistborn era 1 and 2 are a lot more separate than Stormlight 1 and 2 which is only a 10-15 year jump

[@Gronmin]

@@cosmerejunkie7931 my point is that it has nothing to do with feeling like they are complete. I think I can see the end point that stormlight is going for at the end of the next book and it would be a fine ending for the series as a whole.

[@Joenah5]

@@mtverv I like the Selish magic systems my only problem with them is to really understand all the possibilities we would need a full on dictionary for each magic system and so we don't ever get the full explanation of them, only what's plot relevant. Another issue I have with them is with how visual some of them are, like Aon Dor for example, I don't think novels are the best medium for them. I know Brandon said White Sand was the most suited for a visual (in that case graphic novel) adaptation, I think that aspect of Sel makes its stories the most suited for visuals. Whereas I feel like we get a comprehensive understanding of Awakening, which also works perfectly for the medium it was designed for.
