The expansion of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere is such that a star map is even needed to be able to understand and perfectly locate each of the worlds that make up the universe. author's universe. There are a good handful of novels to take into account, but the truth is that there are several that have been left out of the pipeline.
So much Dragonsteel Prime as Aether of Knight They make up the non-canon part of his stories, which is why many readers want a publication of books that are unpublished. Sanderson himself has been questioned about this during a talk with Dan Wells on his YouTube channel, the horror writer with whom he collaborates for a future project, and has clarified his thoughts about whether he would revive both works. .
“No, the main reasons are that they are too out of continuity. I haven't been considering them in continuity. For example, in Aether of Knight there are fights, the Midnight Essence from The Stormlight appears, and in Braid of the Sea Esmeralda, and we explore the first appearances of the Adonalsium shards, but the shards are no longer canon.
The world building of Aether of Knight is completely canon, the Aethers have been appearing since the late 2000s in my books. However, in Aether of Knight there is nothing about the actual plot of that book, and that's the problem, the actual plot and characters, there is nothing about that that appeals to me or is interesting to me. I hope to write or, eventually, a book set on the planet Aether, where the Aether come from, but the story will be completely different, those characters are not relevant to me.”
Aether of Knight This is an unpublished publication by Sanderson that He did not achieve the level of quality he desired, so the only way to read it was to request it by email from the author's team. It doesn't seem like there will be good news for those looking to explore more of the Cosmere that way, but there is good news for those hoping to read Dragonsteel Prime.
“Dragonsteel I consider slightly in the Cosmere, I think the events of Dragonsteel mostly occurred, but the world-building has been refined so much that, eventually, I will write a book that will be called Dragonsteel, or maybe the series, but now it will be “Hoid's story instead of Jerrick's story. The story will be completely different, it may be a completely different type of story, although small fragments of it will be recognizable.”
Dragonsteel Prime It is the seventh novel that Sanderson wrote and there are only five copies kept at Brigham Young University, although there is hope for the future. The novel will be included as one of the rewards in the Words of Radiance crowdfunding campaign, although a complete rewrite is not planned until Sanderson shelves The Storm Archive.
