| 5/17/25 | ![]() The Brandon Sanderson interview: Wind and Truth, Ghostbloods, and the space age of the Cosmere | Winter Is Coming's Daniel Roman sits down for a far-ranging interview with Brandon Sanderson, the New York Times bestselling author of The Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, Skyward, Elantris, and a number of other books, including the final three novels of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time.In December of 2024, Sanderson released Wind and Truth, the fifth novel of The Stormlight Archive. This was a major culmination for the series, capping off its first arc before Sanderson takes a hiatus to focus on other stories for the next few years, like his third era of Mistborn books, titled Ghostbloods.Now that Wind and Truth has been out for a few months, we dive deep into how Sanderson approached writing this crucial book, its biggest plot twists, and some of the daring risks he took with its storytelling. We also discuss his work on Ghostbloods, the future of the Cosmere, his upcoming short fiction collection Tailored Realities, how he's relying on a few tricks from his early career with Mistborn Era 3, and more.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy | 46m 34s | ||||||
