m (Undo revision 125281 by Unrudh (talk) Even though Edgedancer is about Lift, the purpose of this column is to highlight the main books as Brandon has described them (with each book being a certain Order's book that corresponds to the flashback character). It is, however, rather confusing having 'none' listed in these columns, so I've changed them to NA to hopefully make it less confusing)

Latest revision as of 20:40, 26 March 2024

The Stormlight Archive is an ongoing epic fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. Set on the planet Roshar, the series forms a core part of the cosmere sequence, and centers around Odium's efforts to escape the ties that bind him to the Rosharan system. The series is estimated to require ten books to complete.[1]

For a summary of the events thus far, see the individual summary pages for each book.

Structure[edit]

The novels of The Stormlight Archive follow a consistent internal structure. Each is split into five parts, and Brandon plots each novel as if it were an entire trilogy. The names of each part, when put together, form a ketek. Between each part is a set of interludes, set in different points of view, which show events in other locations on Roshar. Each novel has one character who gets multiple interludes, whose interludes effectively form a novella. The books also feature several pieces of in-world art on the endpages and between some chapters, and epigraphs from in-world documents at the start of each non-flashback chapter.[2][3] Each of the first five books begins with a prologue that shows a different character's perspective of the night of the assassination of Gavilar and ends with an epilogue from Hoid's point of view.[4][5] Each book also includes an Ars Arcanum.

Each novel will focus on one specific order of the Knights Radiant and feature flashbacks from a character tied to that order.[6][7] Brandon has made clear that a character can have flashback point of views, even if they are already dead, so the characters scheduled to have flashbacks in an upcoming book might still die before their book.[8] The series will be split into two arcs of five books each, with a time gap of about ten years between the two arcs.[9] The second arc will be written after Mistborn Era 3.[10] Brandon has said he also hopes to write novellas in between at least all the remaining arc one novels, though is unsure if he has enough time.[11] These novellas would fill in some details and show parts of the story that wouldn't have otherwise been seen.

Subject to the assumption that characters stay associated with their current order and assigning the Order of Dustbringers to Shalash's book by process of elimination, the following table summarizes these relationships and the order of books:

  1. ↑ a b c d All years are from the Rosharan calendar. Years for the Series Chronology column do not include the prelude, prologues, or flashbacks; years for the Flashback Viewpoint column only include that character's flashback chapters.

Brandon has also talked about wanting to go back and do a novella set between The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance; he initially thought this novella might focus on Lopen,[11][18] but, after including Lopen in Dawnshard, said it would likely be someone else, possibly Teft.[19]

Back Cover Text[edit]

For the back cover text of each book, see /Back Cover Text.

Each book has a back cover text that is written in-universe from the perspective of one of the Sleepless.

Keteks[edit]

For the full list of endnote keteks, see /Keteks.

The titles of the five parts of each book form a ketek which is revealed with context in the endnote of every book. The abbreviations of the first five books also form a palindrome of five parts, being similar in structure to a ketek: (t)WoK - WoR - O - RoW - KoW(t).[20]
