The Fireside

The second book in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight series is out today, in some formats such as ebook. Paperback editions will most likely follow about a year from now. Actually, speaking of paperback, the first book, Way of Kings , got released in an attractive larger-trim paperback today also. In addition to the massive sampling I did a while ago (collected all the sample chapters that were released into one blog post, linked below), here are all the "Glimpses of Radiance" released up to the book's launch as a tease. I believe that this series will be among the next big epic fantasy series. Enjoy! All the samples: http://insurrbution.blogspot.ca/2014/01/words-of-radiance-excerpt-galore.html

Can't wait to read Brandon Sanderson's next Stormlight book? Well, here's a big tease.... The book will be out in various formats, such as ebook, in March. 

Brandon Sanderson has completed Words of Radiance, the second book in his Stormlight  series. It will be released on March 4  in hardback, ebook, and audio editions.  For those who missed my posts on social media in the wee hours of the morning last week, I have finished the final draft of Words of Radiance , second volume in the Stormlight Archive. We turned the manuscript in to Tor, and they printed the thing off and showed how big it is in this blog post  here . They also released one of the  interludes on their site for free, as a preview. Enjoy! A sample was also posted, which I have re-posted below: “Lift,” by Brandon Sanderson, is an interlude chapter from his upcoming novel, but new readers or those afraid of spoilers need not fear; it introduces a new character and a new land entirely removed from the plot of  The Way of Kings , and stands very well on its own. Lift, a young thief who augments her skills with some mag...

In order to make sure  Words of Radiance receives all the care it needs to become the perfect sequel to  The Way of Kings that we all want it to be, Brandon Sanderson has requested more time to work on the novel. As such, the release date has been tentatively rescheduled for March 4th. After receiving notes from his editor and his agent, Sanderson is hard at work on the second draft of his fantasy epic. He expects to complete several more drafts before the novel is ready for production, in order to make sure  Words of Radiance  is up to the high standard set by the first volume in the saga.
