Stormlight 5 Previews Coming July 29th!
THE TIME IS UPON US! Well, close enough anyway. Reactor Magazine (formerly Tor.com) will be releasing one to three chapters of Wind and Truth every Monday at 11 A.M. Eastern Time, beginning on July 29th and continuing until the book comes out on December 6th! They'll go up under the dedicated column on Reactor's website weekly. More details and overview of past updates below the cut.
The current marketing blurb is short and sweet, though naturally full of massive spoilers for the first four books:
Dalinar Kholin has challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions, and the Knights Radiant and the nations of Roshar have a mere 10 days to prepare for the worst. The fate of the entire world—and the Cosmere at large—hangs in the balance.
The US cover has not been revealed yet, so let's take a gander at Gollancz's UK cover instead:
(The artist was not listed, but historically they have hired Sam Green for the Cosmere, so likely him? If anyone knows for sure please let us know so we can assign proper credit!)
As per usual we will limit discussion to specific subforums here and spoiler channels on our Discord server until six months after the book's release to give everyone a chance to read it. Unfortunately we will not be doing weekly chapter reactions on our YouTube channel the way we did for Rhythm of War and The Lost Metal, our staffers are simply too busy this time around. However, Reactor will be running their own readalong with beta readers Lyndsey Luther, Drew McCaffrey, and Paige Vest—make sure to give them your love two weeks from now!
Oh, and if you haven't been keeping up with the news, we actually already have a few readings from an early draft:
Miscellaneous:
- Prologue: transcript, audio
- Dyel (?) interlude: transcript, audio
Normal chapters:
- Kaladin chapter 1 (pt. 1): transcript, audio

- Shallan chapters 1 and 2: transcript, audio

Flashbacks:

- Szeth flashback 3: transcript, audio
Brandon has also put out a couple general updates on Reddit with a bit of structural info and some fun concept art: Update One, Update #2 (if I must suffer the inconsistent title formatting then you all must join me...)
Normally I end with some cleverly crafted call-to-action that drives engagement in the comments (do we even have an algorithm to boost?), so: Book! BOOK! Booooook? Book. Yes, that sounds about right. *sage nodding*
