Popular Post Adrienne Posted September 16, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2024 (edited) Hello Orbis! I'm sure it comes as a total surprise that The Knights Radiant is themed around a book series called the Stormlight Archive, by Brandon Sanderson. As knowledgeable as you all are, you'll undoubtedly be aware that we're coming up fast on the fifth book and conclusion of the first arc of the Stormlight Archive, Wind & Truth. If you're not a Stormlight Archive reader (yet), just know that this is a Big Deal(tm). In preparation for this illustrious event, we'd like to invite you to participate in a reading challenge we're putting on during the lead up to the book's release - Around Roshar in 80 Days! That's right, ~80 days is all that stands between us and Wind & Truth, so let's make the most of it by (re-)reading the series! The attached spreadsheet gives four pathways and daily reading breakdowns to help you achieve this goal. Whether you're new to the Stormlight Archive, or looking to refresh your memory before the fifth book, there's a pathway for you! Pathway 1: Complete Package (Books 1-4 + novellas) This pathway is for someone who wants the complete Stormlight experience Pathway 2: Abridged Read (Books 1-4, excluding novellas) Don't care about the novellas? This pathway is for you. Pathways 3 & 4: Same as 1 & 2, but without The Way of Kings These pathways are designed for people who have already read The Way of Kings as part of our Stormblessed book club We'll also be hosting periodic discussions on the books, following the schedule below. The discussions will also be added to our events list on our Discord server, so feel free to sign up there. September 26: The Way of Kings Pt 1 (Prologue to Chapter 31) October 5: The Way of Kings Pt. 2 (Chapter 32 - Epilogue) October 16: Words of Radiance Pt. 1 (Prologue - Chapter 56) October 23: Words of Radiance Pt. 2 (Chapter 57 - Epilogue); Edgedancer November 4: Oathbringer Pt. 1 (Prologue - Chapter 65) November 16: Oathbringer Pt. 2 (Chapter 66 - Epilogue); Dawnshard November 25: Rhythm of War Pt. 1 (Prologue - Chapter 47) December 6: Rhythm of War Pt. 2 (Chapter 48 - Ars Arcanum) Discussions will take place at day change on weekdays, and 4 pm game-time on weekends, and will take place in the public VC on our Discord. Also, many folks will likely be discussing the books in our Stormblessed book club channel on Discord. If you're interested in discussing books (yes, even non-Cosmere ones), let us know! We're always happy to talk books. Following our final discussion and official end of the challenge on December 6, we'll have our Wind & Truth Launch Party, where the lovely @HannaH will be hosting a Story Hour and reading the beginning of Wind & Truth! Happy reading, and good luck! Adrienne P.S. Be on the lookout for other events/book listening parties throughout this challenge!

Sketchy Posted September 16, 2024 Share Posted September 16, 2024 I considered doing a reread in prep for book 5 but then I remembered how long they all are and how busy I am lmfao. I'll just wing it when the book comes out and hope I haven't forgotten any important details 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll definitely be a challenge, but doable, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canbec Posted September 16, 2024 Share Posted September 16, 2024 Guys all we're asking of you is to commit 1.5 hours per day to TKR for three months. It's not like y'all have anything better to do. What are you gonna do instead, touch grass? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viselli Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 I have made all the English teachers at the school I work at read this series and they say it has ruined other fantasy series because of the world building and not rushing through the climax and important parts of the story. Everyone should read this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
