Sanderson speaks<\/a> a bit about the project and the title:<\/p>\n

\nThe Way of Kings was Kaladin\u2019s book. He will have a lot to do in Book Two, of course, and you can expect some great sequences within his viewpoint. However, the flashback sequences in Book Two belong to Shallan. In my notes for the series, I had planned for Shallan\u2019s book to be named after the tome she is given at the end of the first novel: The Book of Endless Pages. On Roshar, that is a book of knowledge that can never be completed\u2014because people should always be learning, studying, and adding what they\u2019ve learned to it.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Lots of people weighed in with their feelings on Stormlight Two. For a while, I toyed with titles that still had \u201cbook\u201d in them, as I liked how that fit with Shallan\u2019s scholarly nature. The Book of Lies was one of these, as was The Book of Dusk and Dawn. (As a side note, being a fan of Magic: The Gathering makes naming things harder sometimes, since the creative team over at Wizards has named A LOT of cards\u2014and the titles I think of sometimes sound too much like things they\u2019ve done. That\u2019s why Book of Fact and Fiction was dead the moment it occurred to me.)<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

In the last few months, the title that has really been sticking with me is Words of Radiance. (Admittedly, \u201cradiance\u201d is a synonym for \u201clight,\u201d but at least it\u2019s a step away.) With \u201cwords,\u201d it still has a slight tie to my original desire to have \u201cbook\u201d in the title, and I believe it\u2019s significantly meaningful for people who have read the first novel. It also works very well for reasons that I can\u2019t tell you now without spoiling the story.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey, it’s not cover art (or even news about who the artist will be), but we all pathetically salivate for even the smallest drop of information about our favourite authors, don’t we? Words of Radiance<\/em> is set for a tentative November, 2013 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
