But if he manages to do all of that before he dies, he has more stories in mind. And that’s your core sequence of stories.” I need to do Dragonsteel, Mistborn, Elantris, and Stormlight. But Warbreaker, Emperor’s Soul, Silence Divine, the unnamed Threnody novel…these are not what I consider the core essential Cosmere books that I need to write. I do count Warbreaker,” Sanderson clarified. Namely, the fan-favorite standalone Warbreaker. Some fans may notice that some projects were left out.

Unconnected or only tangentially related. If I manage to get that all done before I die, then there’s a decent change I will write other Cosmere books…probably during this timeframe. “We will have the flashbacks to Dragonsteel after Stormlight 10 but before Era four of Mistborn. “Era four of Mistborn will be the last chronologically,” Sanderson continued. “So the way that the structure works right now : Elantris, Mistborn Era One, Stormlight Archive first five, Mistborn Era Two, Elantris 2 and 3, Stormlight Archive 6-10, then the final Mistborn Era. “The last chronological book of the Cosmere Sequence is the final Mistborn book,” Sanderson said.

It is an ambitious universe of novels that are only connected by the smallest of threads. What’s more is that a large chunk of his novels make up what is called the Cosmere. Not only does he tend to release two books a year, but the books he puts out are of substantial size. Brandon Sanderson is kind of a juggernaut beast of a writer.
