Almost anything could be hiding in these fields. Kaladin shook his head the grass back near the Shattered Plains had barely grown as high as his ankle, and had mostly come in yellowish patches on the leeward side of hills. The grass was vibrant green and slow to pull down into its burrows as he approached. Grass spread in fields and came up to his waist, dappled with glowing lifespren. Rockbuds grew almost as big as barrels, with vines as thick as his wrist spilling out and lapping water from the pools on the stone. After so long in the stormlands-those eastern lands that bore the brunt of the storms-he had almost forgotten the sights of a more fertile landscape.
Instead, it seemed wild, overgrown, alien. The land around him should have felt familiar. The knowledge slowed him, pressing against his shoulders with an almost physical sensation, like the weight of a bridge he was forced to carry all on his own.
Kaladin trudged through a field of quiet rockbuds, fully aware that he was too late to prevent the disaster.

He has a very strict writing schedule, and he pushes out multiple books a year. It’s a pleasure to hear that Sanderson is finally getting around to writing the third book, because, as his fans know, he doe not keep them waiting. Well, this version is almost twice as long, and probably much closer to what will actually be released in the third book. Fans may know that he previously read an earlier version of the chapter in July to fans at Salt Lake City’s Fantas圜on. A newsletter from his site went out earlier in the week with his revised first chapter of the as-of-yet untitled Stormlight Archive book 3. The sequel was buffered a few years due to his finishing up of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, but since his second Stormlight Archive book, Words of Radiance hit the scene earlier this year, It’s become my all time favorite fantasy novel, and perhaps favorite book altogether. How many of you guys enjoy incredible, huge-scale, epic fantasy literature? And of you how many haven’t heard of the increasingly talented and prolific work of Brandon Sanderson? And – of those of you who have heard or read some of his works, who’s taken the plunge into his new magnum opus, the eventual ten book behemoth of a series, The Stormlight Archive? Brandon’s first in the series, The Way of Kings, released in 2010, completely changed my entire perspective of what truly epic fantasy entails.
