As an avid home cook, I just want to say that I would LOVE a Cosmere Cookbook SO MUCH. Anyway... My question to you is this: WHEN an official Cosmere Cookbook is inevitably created, which recipe would you most like to try? Chouta? Baywraps? Horneater Stew? Azish Pancakes? Unofficially, there is a blog full of Cosmere-inspired dishes found here: https://reactormag.com/tag/cosmere-cuisine/

Project Update: Brandon Reveals the New Secret Project Title: A Synopsis and Reading!

The final week of the campaign is here and exciting things are happening! If you missed it, Brandon revealed the title of the New Secret Project. Drum roll please…

New Secret Project Title


The New Secret Project will be named Isles of the Emberdark. You can watch Brandon’s reading of selections from the book here. He also hosted a livestream last Friday, featuring the artist, Esther Hi'ilani Candari, and answering questions about the new book.


Title and design not final.

Upcoming Livestream

Our last campaign livestream will take place this Friday, counting down the final moments of the campaign (provided you don’t all wow us in overtime). Catch us on Brandon’s YouTube channel at 6pm MDT!

Synopsis

Though we will not be keeping the title secret this time around, we have included a brief synopsis of the New Secret Project below. Feel free to skip it if you’d like to wait and find out more in 2025.

All his life, Sixth of the Dusk has been a traditional trapper of Aviar—the supernatural birds his people bond with—on the deadly island of Patji. Then one fateful night he propels his people into a race to modernize before they can be conquered by the Ones Above, invaders from the stars who want to exploit the Aviar.

But it’s a race they’re losing, and Dusk fears his people will lose themselves in the effort. When a chance comes to sail into the expanse of the emberdark beyond a mystical portal, Dusk sets off to find his people’s salvation with only a canoe, his birds, and all the grit and canniness of a Patji trapper.

Elsewhere in the emberdark is a young dragon chained in human form: Starling of the starship Dynamic. She and her ragtag crew of exiles are deep in debt and on the brink of losing their freedom. So when she finds an ancient map to a hidden portal between the emberdark and the physical realm, she seizes the chance at a lucrative discovery.

These unlikely allies might just be the solution to each other’s crisis. In their search for independence, Dusk and Starling face perilous bargains, poisonous politics, and the destructive echo of a dead god.

Sanderson expands his thrilling novella “Sixth of the Dusk” into a mythic novel of legends, lore, and warring galactic superpowers.

Thank you all for your amazing support. We'll see you on Friday!

Discussion surrounding books always inevitably leads to conversations about adaptations. Whether it be books to movies, shows, or games, or if it’s those mediums getting novelizations or shared universe books, adaptations have always been apart of discussions since the very first adaptation: the film Cinderella in 1899 by Georges Méliès (I hope those accents copy to Backerkit successfully). Daily Discussion Day 8 What is your favorite book related adaptation? I suspect a lot of answers will be Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Warhammer novels, or Star Wars novels. I am very tempted to list Lord of the Rings myself, however I think I’ll instead say the Princess Bride (1987) movie. The original novel by William Goldman is wonderful, and Goldman maintained the humor for his script. It’s almost a 1:1 retelling, with some modifications to the framing story and some cut scenes, but man is it a beautiful movie and very faithful adaptation. Probably helps that Goldman wrote both, but even so it’s impressive that it worked so well in both mediums. Honorable mention to Stardust, which falls in a similar boat as Princess Bride. The movie captures the feel of the Neil Gaiman novel really well, and though it has more differences than Goldman’s works, the movie is a blast to watch and I love it. Plus, Gaiman says he likes the movie more, and to be honest I do too!

I never realized before reading comments on this campaign that so many people dislike her! She's definitely one of my favorites and I honestly relate to her on a strange level in many ways. Sure, she has funny ways of doing things sometimes and definitely makes imperfect decisions, but that's part of the beauty of a character who seems real. Anyway, just wanted to see who else loves Shallan! :)

I've long been an e-book reader, not for any particular reason, just my preference, I find it convenient. I would never in a million years say it was the "right way" or that any way other people enjoy books is wrong, that's just silliness. Read however you wanna read. That said... I'm currently re-reading Oathbringer, and I do happen to have a physical copy. I figured, why not, I'll read the physical copy this time. And it's somewhat novel. But on some level I have to wonder... how? This is a doorstopper. I've read hundreds of physical books in my life, several of them recently. The sheer logistics of trying to read Oathbringer under most circumstances is baffling. I'm lucky in that I'm generally reading in bed or at my desk etc, but I try to imagine pulling this book out on a bus, or how much of the table it would take up if I read it at a restaurant, or really anywhere other than where I'm taking my leisure and have two hands and can set things up however I wish. I've got over 200 pages left and for a while now I'm through so much of the book that the pages on the left are pulling the book closed, and it takes rather a lot of finagling to get it to stay open at the page I'm reading without swallowing the words in the center or damaging the spine. To all y'all who tend to read physical books and especially the Archive, you have my respect. This is a significantly more challenging undertaking than I had ever suspected. My hat is off to you.
