The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy. To view an earlier version of the wiki without spoilers for a book, go to the Time Machine!
This page contains a brief statistical analysis of each of the books in The Stormlight Archive.
For a summary per per book see The Way of Kings/Statistical analysis, Words of Radiance/Statistical analysis, Edgedancer/Statistical analysis, and Oathbringer/Statistical analysis.
