The First of Brandon Sanderson's Lies is Revealed!
As a follow up to the announcement Brandon Sanderson made earlier this week (see the previous Brandon Sanderson is a Liar!! post), he has released the title of the first book! This novel, and others, will be funded through his Kickstarter campaign and will be released January 2023.
The title is Tress of the Emerald Sea and he has posted online the first five chapters if you’re interested in getting a sneak peek of the story. The book will be from the Cosmere and is a Hoid/Wit based story! You can find it here by clicking on this link.
Brandon Sanderson revealed that he has written 4 novels that will be published in 2023, and a shorter story that will probably be released as a graphic novel later, during the last two years of the pandemic. He decided to publish them by funding them through a Kickstarter campaign, which ended up being the second highest/fastest Kickstarter campaign within the first 24 hours ever! As a result the campaign will move forward as planned due to the high number of pledges. Also announced were not only these books being published, but other swag will be created and released throughout the year of 2023. In what has been dubbed "A Year of Sanderson”, every month during 2023 new product will be mailed out to the backers in a similar fashion and model of subscription boxes.
The novels will be released in premium physical hardcover format, but also in digital books and audiobooks! If you were to just pledge to back the books, they will be released quarterly.
I’m looking forward to reading this novel and getting more from the Cosmere! Stay tuned for more announcements from Brandon Sanderson about this new venture.
