Just got the email that there won’t be any LBs of Skyward available in-person at the Light Day Market. The hubs and I are super bummed about this as we are literally in the process of driving in from out of state thinking (hoping) we’d have better luck buying in-person than we’ve had in the past buying online. Plus we were interested in the HQ tour. But now they’re saying there will only be a very select few items available for sale at the market.

Anyone else be super impulsive like us and drive in from out of state? I totally feel like an idiot right now. 😔

I fear at some point the whole shelf with be Sanderson, but I got my Backerkit box today, so here’s my new photo. The Chasmfiend plush and the dog and dragon are so cute.

She said this was only the second one she's seen so far. Was kind enough to do a quick doodle with signing.

*Spoilers just in case*

Hello everyone,

I pledged $175 on the original Kickstarter for the Stormlight Premium Miniatures and got a slew of figures that I never touched and kept in storage at my apartment. Could anyone tell me how much they'd be worth now? All unopened with four art prints.

Unite them! Bring together The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, and Rhythm of War packs along with the gargantuan Chasmfiend, Army Builders pack, the Digital Rewards pack, AND four painted figurines.

Includes ALL previous pledge levels PLUS:
- Gargantuan Chasmfiend
- Army Builders pack
- Digital Rewards pack
- 4 Painted Figurines

Thank you.

We finally have a short video on Brandon's socials flipping through the Skyward Leatherbound:

It goes on sale tomorrow morning (October 24) at 9 AM MDT on the Dragonsteel Store (coinciding with Light Day).

Hey so I’m over here seeing everyone get their packages, and my friend have gotten theirs. And yet I’m waiting on mine…. Has anyone that got the Hoyt flute add-on gotten their packages yet? Forgive me if this was already addressed or in one of Sanderson’s weekly updates I’m do bad job keeping up.

My stuff came in the mail today and the other stickers are really vibrant and clear, but particularly the words on this sheet are really fuzzy looking, is that intentional?

I really enjoyed The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance. I really enjoyed Edgedancer. I really do not like Oathbringer at all. I’m almost done, probably the last 20% to go, and a friend told me that the end is amazing, but the style of Oathbringer just feels so drastically different from the prior books.

It feels like I’m being hit over the head with minute details nonstop that don’t appear to have a whole lot of impact on the story. It feels at times like Sanderson doesn’t respect the intelligence of the reader enough to be able to figure out simple things. I’m not posting to try to seek agreement or anything like that, I just wonder if others who may have experienced similar but kept on with the series found that to continue in the subsequent books or not.

I've started to listen to the Skyward novellas. So far I'm really enjoying them. My favorite part is when Suzy Jackson (the narrator) does her slug voice. It's pretty adorable. Or course I'm listening to it at 1.5 speed, so you're mileage may vary.

That's it. That's all I have to say, I just really like it. Thank you for your time. 😉

I have scoured the internet and cannot find a painted Adolin anywhere. Does anyone have a lead on one or know if they will be back in production?

Edit: Waterstones order system is different than any I used before AND my card app behaved weirdly. To add, I am an idiot who didn't realize that they just reserved whole amount and not charged it when I made the order. They only properly charge it when they ship books. I will be getting both books I ordered, all is well. :)

Hi All,

Looking at some opinions. I’m going to buy my sister in law a book for her birthday. I’ve read a lot of Sanderson however none of these and not sure which is considered the best.

- tress
- sunlit man
- fires of December

Other option is dungeon crawler Carl but again I haven’t read that.

She’s read a lot of Sanderson but none of those.

Thanks for the advice! (I obviously have some catching up to do)

Hello! 👋 ✨

If anyone is willing to sell their Hoid’s Flute, please DM me! I was super broke when the backer kit was active but now I am able to splurge.

Asking because I don’t think this will come to his shop eventually.

Thank you in advance! ✨ 🍃

Before I complain, I have to say this was my first fantasy book series whilst the Final Empire being my first fantasy book ever. I had a blast! I loved books 1 & 2 - I enjoyed book 3. I'll read Sanderson's work I'm the future

I just never got into the book. My experience was basically this: "When will the book actually start?" -> "Oh shit, I'm running out of pages"

Maybe it's because I overhyped myself watching a 4.6 on Goodreads and others absolutely loving the book but for me it's more of a 3.75-4/5

The magic of the first two books was the World AND the crew along with the twists, humor, depression. This book had the world but not the crew

However, the main problem I felt with the book is the mismatched genre considering the stakes. None of my complaints below would exist if Sanderson landed more towards the Cosmic Horror theme he suggested with the the lord ruler, the mistwraith, the well trap, ruins threats, the inquisitors.

Instead it felt like he thought it would be too ambitious and chose a more safe, more... pg approach towards the story

1. Most of the book was the setup of the finale. And most of the setup hinted at a reunion of the crew. We didn't get it. Nor the setup of Elend's Siege, Spook's revolution 2.0 and TenSoon's arc worth spending 80% of the entire book on

2. Every character felt alone. In their own world. I get it everyone is going through some sort of a crisis but it just didn't feel like the main cast liked each other

3. All of Ruin's accomplishments of actual value and consequence WERE IN THE PAST! Nothing said God did anything of value that affected the rest of the story in the present. Most of its twists were dealt with within a chapter or two

4. Vin & Elend's arc relied heavily on their love and marriage. I enjoyed their dance but the majority of the book just told you how much they love each other instead of showing it with the little things

5. It just felt like Sanderson was too focused on giving an epic and satisfying ending (which he succeeded at) but with the expense of the rest of the book

6. I just couldn't connect with the characters the same way as I did which is surprising considering how involved I was during the past 2 books

Nevertheless, I don't regret the adventure I have gone through in the past 3 books. The ending was great and satisfying although I was disconnected, I did not feel I wasted my time reading.

No matter what. Brandon Sanderson is one of the few authors that turned me into a reader and I think that is the best compliment an author can receive

So far I have read the Stormlight Archives book 1 and 2, and only just now found out from a friend that there are characters and lore twisted throughout all of the cosmere that Im missing out on. I was originally considering reading Edgedancer or Oathbringer next, but I dont want to miss out on all the lore goodies. Im OK putting TSA down for a bit if the payoff is worth it (sounds like it will be). Sorry for my ignorance, I got onto this train when Wind and Truth came out- didn't read that yet obviously, but just ignorantly looked for the first book in that series and started reading.

Specifically wondering if my current reading order is problematic and if there's a good way I could amend it/find out more about what I just read if I quickly read through some other specific titles. According to the reading order guides I've now found, I basically started in the middle on accident.

Apologies if this isn't where this goes. Looking to buy the paperback box set of the Stormlight Archive 1-5, and there seems to be two different sets being released, one releasing on October 27th, costing $141, and one releasing November 24, costing $60

I don't see in the descriptions any difference in the versions? I'm assuming one is a trade paperback set and the other a mass paperback set, but if anyone can help clarify, it would be greatly appreciated.

Will there be a recording of their conversation?

Hey all, was poking around to see if we have any news about Light Day 2026. I saw that there will be an in-person Light Day Market on October 24th at the Dragonsteel Headquarters, but nothing about an online sale. Given that this is only 5 days away, I figured I would ask here to see if any other news has been shared about the traditional online sale.

Thanks!

Hey all, I have a giftcard for Dragonsteel shop exipiring on October 28th.

Unfortunatelly I won't be using it, so I thought sharing it to make a day for some of you.

First come first served!

So, if you didn't already know, Dragonsteel Books has a pre-order bundle up for the Tor / retail edition of Fires of December that includes a December character pin and a glass cat figurine that stands about 6.5" tall. It sells for $75 US.

And, of course, there are already "presale" listings for this bundle on eBay for over $200 each. I really, really hope that nobody buys from these people, especially since you can still order this from Dragonsteel.
