Dragonsteel, which you’re holding now, is a good book-but, like a lot of my work during that era (1990's), is erratic at the same time. The various parts of it never quite clicked together. Despite my subversions, it played into a little too many of the fantasy tropes of the ’80s and early ’90s for my taste. It just didn’t quite land.
This book exists in a strange half-canon state. A lot of the lore is still relevant-indeed, though during the writing of Elantris the Cosmere was unformed, by Dragonsteel I had a lot of the ideas in mind that would eventually get used in Mistborn and become full canon. You could call this the first real Cosmere work.
However, I’m still proud of this book. Rough though the writing is, nascent though the ideas may be, the ambition is there-and the seeds of what I would become as an author, sprouting alongside the seeds of what would become the modern Cosmere.Once I hoped this would be the book that made me famous. Today it is but a curiosity. Fortunately, it is an interesting one. I hope you enjoy your first trip to the planet Yolen.
Narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading.

Honestly don’t get all the comments here frustrated that this is only one book- or that it wasn’t published. Absolutely loved it- but if he’d published this we would have never gotten stormlight- or at least not in the same way. Just remember, as awesome as Jeri is- Kaladins bridge 4 is so much better. I’m glad this story built the foundation for our stormlight archive- instead of being published as is.

I just finished reading it. I was gutted when it ended knowing the story in that form won't have a continuation.

Wait, u finished the whole thing in a day???

@andrewkimmett Ай бұрын

@williamsshane1342 it took me a few weeks. It was available to a down load for a while. I wish had time to read a book over a full day

We'll have to wait for Dragonsteel Canon and hope it picks up at least some of the threads

Yes, me too. I’d like Sanderson to revisit the world of Dragonsteel, but he’s already said it won’t be with Jerick :(

I wonder if it was a mistake to listen to this before reading stormlight.... I'll come back to this in a few months and let you guys know. Also this was the very first audiobook I've ever listened too and I'm really glad I gave it try. Loved this story.

I also listened before Stormlight

I thought it was a great story! Thanks Brandon. I would prefer a continuation, of course

@BenHillyard Ай бұрын

Absolutely love this book. 😢 wish this book series would be finished.

@Eloweh Ай бұрын

All you gotta do is wait about a decade from now

@BenHillyard Ай бұрын

Yes, though that will be a much different story. Either way I’m excited

@Rhedak Ай бұрын

Just finished and loved it. Yes the parts of it don't click together (we go from learning to be a scholar to fighting in the eternal war very quickly( and I am a bit horrified by the amount of character death. Yes the shattered plains arc was done better in the Way of Kings. But it was still a good book that mad me hooked from start to finsih.

Wow I'm very supprised it got rejected, it was really good and kept my attention the whole time. What an ending though. I love stormlight more, but this now holds a very special place in my heart and I wish it had a continuation (just a good ending please!) Now I have all the names of all the characters and places alive in my head, it's so hard to think that this is it.

Damn, this is much longer than I expected

To be fair, it's so a Sanderson

@mieander Ай бұрын

I wonder if we could perhaps have a hint of what you had in mind for some of the characters who's story will never continue?

@Indigofrost Ай бұрын

What is the next book after this?

We’ll never know

@isaacbuckwalter6444 Ай бұрын

Why didn't he publish this?

@Edward-W Ай бұрын

He briefly mentions it in the Acknowledgements section 1:28:24 Mostly because editors and publishers didn't want to publish it and he didn't try again later because he acknowledges that the quality isn't up to his current writing standards. Also because it isn't canon to the Cosmere since it was basically an early draft only starting to explore those things. He is going to re-write the story of Dragonsteel sometime in the future to make it fit with the Cosmere that's in his published works. Cephandrius/Hoid/Topaz will be the main POV character. It will focus on the Shattering of Adonalsium and exclude things like the Shattered Plains that he included better versions of in other canon books.

Man, early Sanderson is bleak tonally.

@katieoconnor1895 Ай бұрын

🥲 I almost like him more then kaladin

@cookiediangelo8511 2 күн бұрын

Blasphemy! But I do hope we get some form of jerek’s character in the official dragonsteel

@jeffweskamp3685 Ай бұрын

Spoiler below. The Fifth God is clearly a prototype of the Shard Ruin.

@firstNamelastName-ho6lv 11 күн бұрын

You sure? Frost mentioned how his name doesn't change, while Ruin's whole thing was changing words. I can see the white guy fitting as Odium, but Ruin had a whole different vibe than everyone else.
