Love these book updates from Brandon Sanderson, on Reddit:

Finished the last interlude today at 5:21. That is a wrap: Wind and Truth, Book five of the Stormlight Archive, is finished. Tomorrow morning, I’ll hand it off to the proofreading and copyediting team. 491k words.

I couldn’t be more excited about this book. Still thinking about re-reading books 1-4 later this year. There is so much in this series, it’s hard to take it all in with one reading.

@manton I’ve read 1-4 3 times, and I keep finding new things. It’s especially fun with the interconnectedness with the other books.

@condie Cool! Yeah, now that I’ve read everything else in the Cosmere, I’m sure I’ll pick up on things I didn’t get before.

@manton hopefully it doesn’t reach wheel of time levels where the books are so far apart that I have to re-read just to remember what happened even in the vaguest sense.

@manton I’ve been thinking of picking up one of his books. But not sure where to start. Any recommendations?

@JonLillie I like starting with Mistborn because it’s a great first book and not quite as ginormous as Way of Kings. If you just want a taste, there’s also the novella Emperor’s Soul. Enjoy!

@msroest I stalled on Wheel of Time after a few books… When I finally pick it up again, I may need to start over.

@manton that is great news! I was wondering about when the next book is due just yesterday. I love books 1-4.

@manton honestly for me Wheel of Time got to the point where I just couldn’t be bothered anymore to keep reading the new ones I think Path of Daggers is the last one before I just noped out. I’m curious to read the Sanderson written ones but just don’t want to put myself through that slog. I was thinking of looking for a good summary post/video and then just reading the end..
