Title: War Breakers Question and other....
Post by: trinity on October 15, 2009, 08:00:14 PM: Hi - I am a newbie here. Discovered the War Breaker audio cd at the library a couple weeks ago by chance, which I have JUST finished yesterday (I have an hour and a half commute - EACH WAY!) and am eager for more.

Questions:
1. Will Brandon be writing a follow-up (or more) to War Breaker? (hoping) There seems to be at least 2 or 3 major story lines that could continue on...I, for one, am eager for more of LightSong, Cere, Vasher, Sesevron, Vivena, BlushWeaver, etc.......

2. I am getting the only other of Brandon's audios out from the library - Elantris? After that I was thinking of the Mistborn Trilogy. Can anyone list the books in order so that I don't mess up and read them in wrong order?

Anything else I need to know?

Thanks...and .... THANK YOU BRANDON!!! :-)

Post by: firstRainbowRose on October 15, 2009, 08:06:17 PM: 1: Brandon does plan on eventually writing a sequel for Warbreaker (the title last I heard was Nightblood) which will follow Viv and Vasher. However it and the Elantris sequel have been put on hold until after WoT is done. Then the plan will be one or two Way of Kings (his 10 book series) books, then a stand alone (scribbler, NB, Elantris 2, etc.) So, yes, there is a plan but you won't see it for a while.

2: The publishing order of his books are:

Elantris
Mistborn (Final Empire)
Alcatraz 1
Well of Assention (can't spell)
Al 2
Hero of Ages
Warbreaker
Al 3.

As for series you go:

Elantris is a stand alone
Warbreaker is a stand alone

Mistborn
WoA
HoA

Al 1-3

I get the impression that the release date on Warbreaker's sequel could be ten or more years. Five is an early estimate.

Mistborn goes: (1)The Final Empire, (2)The Well of Ascension, (3)The Hero of Ages.

Uh... I can't think of anything in particular. :P

fRR, your spooky name always confuses me. I'm like "who???", and then "oh, right."

Well, I'm going to have to get over War Breaker - 5 years is a long time, not to mention 10! I will continue with Elantris and then the trilogy. Has the 10 book series been started yet? If so, there IS hope! I can't imagine liking any of them as well as War Breaker though....but who knows?? And, forgive my ignorance, but what is WoT?

Thanks!

What is the story with that? Is that series worth going for?

thanks....

WoT = Wheel of Time

It is a series that was started by the late Robert Jordan. Jordan passed away before finishing the twelth volume in his twelve volume series. Then Jordan's wife/editor chose Sanderson to finish the series. The twelth and final book has been split into 3 volumes due to its length. They will all be penned by Sanderson.

Its an amazing series. It's one of if not my absolute favorite of all time. Its definately worth looking into.

They are all awesome, though for subtly different reasons. Most days of the week, I have difficulty judging them :)

Warbreaker's sequel might come out in 2013. Brandon would have to write it first though and would have to get 3 Stormlight Archive books out before then. (And it's going to be hard for him to get one out in 2011.)

Post by: Troubadour on October 16, 2009, 06:11:37 AM: The WoT books are most definitely worth getting into. I'm nearly finished with Eye of the World, and it's been worth every tiny-font, text-crammed page thus far.

Read them!!! I have read all of these books and I would HIGHLY recomend them. I started reading Sanderson's stuff when I found out he was filling in for Robert Jordon. That's how I fell in love with him, I read Elantris first and kept going. ;)
